Can i make a 15X7 firebird BASE 1987 rim look like a 9 inch
ading spacers ??
help ..i need to make this wheels look out of the wheel house a little bit

 

so get bigger tires

 

well i have it on mine it just makes the wheel stick out it looks gay... but i have have gay rims also..

 

Go to www.skulte.com , this guy makes custom billet adapters (spacers) for 3rd gens. I just picked up some for my IROC so that I could mount C5 Rims on the IROC and it came out looking sweet. 9 inches is a bit much and is likely to screw something up. Talk to the guy though, seems to know what he is talking about.

 

I put a set of iroc wheels on my camaro, and all four wheels are fronts. Meaning that the difference in offset spaces the rears out about 1/2 inch from the stock position. It really gives the car a more aggressive stance, doesn't look at all gay. Most people who saw the car before and after the wheel swap commented that the new rims made the car look meaner somehow, but nobody could really put their finger on why... (the 1/2 spacing). I wouldnt space them out much more though, or it would start looking kinda fruity.

 

PLease can you post pics of before/after ???
and a car with the wheel out of the stock is not gay at all
I mean ,,i fuind it much more agressive ¡¡¡
But an i mede that wheels look mean ..the only thing i want is to give them an extra inch out or something

 

I understand exactly where you guys are coming from. I'd like the rear tires/rims on my camaro to sit a little farther out than stock. I am only complaining about 3/8 inch or so. Just enough to fill out the fender gap when viewed from behind.

 

Yeah ..thats it
what about if i add 5 or 8 washers to every lug ???
will that create the extra space out ???
will it be harmful for the wheels ???
what can i do ...i have 15x7 base 1988 firebird wheels and
215/60r15 tires
and the rear look real stupid ¡¡¡¡
i need the mean powerful look of the wheels showing near the fender gap

 

I really don't know how much you can do with the 7in rim. But, putting washers on the lugs behind the wheel is a big no-no. Your wheels won't be able to seat properly and they will be unbalanced or at worst come off. You should be able to get a set of spacers out of jc whitney for around $50.00 They are the kind that bolt onto your lugs, then have lugs for you to bolt your wheel too. That way you don't over-stress your lugs causing failure.

 

I got cragar SS 15x8 reverse offset dish with 255/45...looks sick, sticks out alot, looks mean..

 

Try this..

 

Listen...this is what happened
I had a set of 14x7 front and 14x8 rear
with the backshoes as 245/60/R14
and yeah ..it looked mean
One day came a guy with a 88bird and he offered me to trade his 15x7(hightech)set of rims with 215/60/r15
and i said yeah ¡¡¡¡
What you think of my ex rims???here is the pic
Well now with the 15rims ..it looks cool but my car has lost the meaness ..so thats why im worried ¡¡¡
My car looks so thin from the back man ¡¡¡
I really dont like the look of it ¡¡¡¡
Did i make the wrong choice?????
my car obviusly look more new but ...i dont know
NEED HELP TO GET THE MEANESS BACK ¡¡¡¡

 

Not to be mean, but *** i'm glad you don't have those rims anymore. Those rims may have had more offset but they are horrible. Maybe you should save your money up for some GTA wheels?

TransAm87's rims look badass!!!!!!!

 

not to be mean but when are you gonna start restoring your car??

 

Ilaughed when i readed that hohoho ¡¡¡¡¡
Thanks ..so i should look better with my 15x7 really ?
Yeah gta or formulas are the best choice but here in Chile
Thirdgens are rare cars .,,,and i have a big luck this guy wanted to trade those rims ..and i gave him also a 1978 350 engine and two trannys a 68 Powerglide and a 76 TH200
Did i make good business ???
Your opinion ....and BTW ,,do u like my car ?

 

get wider rims

 

You need to get an updated picture of your car. Those rims through the whole car out of whack.
