Nice Looking car man!!! I am currently thinking of ordering those rims in chrome! Do you have any pics of your car at a angle so i can see how much the spokes bend???? It's hard to tell straight on I got prices today for these in chrome!!

No.You can get them specifically for our cars.If you go with 17",the company recommends only 8"wide for the front,although you can squeeze in the 9" wide wheels if you want.

Those and the TT2s are some of the best looking rims for our cars I think. I also like the ROH Zs (i believe) wheels too.

I have this pic.This is a better angle. I only paid just a few dollars over 1000 for the 17x9s and got mine within three days. And you can see plenty of the rotor.I have the drilled/slotted rotors with red calipers and it looks really good.

Here is one.The 17s make the rotors look small. Later I am going to upgrade to a 12" front brake set.

<B>1989camarorsrs</B> What size rims are those and what size tires did you go with? I have been planning to order these rims for atleast 6 months but have not got around to it. I lined up prices finally the other day. I am going to buy mine through jdwheels.com for 204.95 each. They come in 0 and 5mm Positive backspacing. My tire guy said go with the 0 because 5mm positive is for front wheel drive and 5mm negative would be for rear...

JDwheels.com does not think that 17x9's will fit all the way around. I plan on going with Kumo 712's 245/45/17 so I can rotate.

Thanks for the info and pics man! It has motivated me to get these babies ordered....

<B>RSpeed</B>
I see your running Kumo's. How do you like them and what model are they? I am going with the Kumo 712's. They will be shipped to my door from tirerack.com for like $450.00

My rims are 16x 8s with 245/50s,i would have gotten the 17x9s but i gotem used for 550 $ with all new tires from a friend. Check out this site http://www.skulte.com/rims.html it says with the 17x9s u can run 275s all around without a problem. If i were u id get the 17x9s and run 245s up front and 275s in the rear. OH yea and the offset i believe is 0mm

I still don't think 275/45/17 would fit in the front. The biggest you can go with 17x9 in the front is 245/45/17. I am going with 245/45/17 all the way around because I want to be able to rotate. I am going to call Skulte.

Here is what they say about the ROH ZS

SPD now offers ROH 17x9.5" ZS rims to fit the front of 82-92 F-bodies! This lets you run 275 40R17 tires on all corners for ultimate handling with the ability to rotate front and rear.

I like em.I have the 712's,and they seem to grip a little better than other tires I have had on them,even a set of Michelin PilotsXGT. I did have a set of Firestone Firehawks at one time,and those were the only tires out of four different brands I've tried that seem to get a liitle stickier when heated. But the Kumhos can't be beaten dollar per performance and they are even good in rain because of the center channel and the v-design in the tread. But I can't seem to make em last long

I was gonne buy Snypers for my car but I am not gonna put any money into it cause it has 230,000KM (140,000Miles) and it's a 2.8lFI. I'm gonna work full time in the summer, hopefully have enough to sell it and buy a 3rd gen Fbody with Ttops, 305 TPI, and a 5 speed.
BTW the rims look schweet.

Do 275/40's.They will fit.IF you have any rubbing on the inside of the plastic splashshield on lock to lock turns,it will be very little. It is well worth it if you want to rotate and make the tires last longer.

RSpeed: Thanks for all the help and pics!!! Now, for my next question!!! What kind of rotor is that?? where did u get it?? Does it make a difference at all? I seen rotors in JC Whitney for 65 a side but i don't know if there worth it or not. I never got anything from them? I was just wondering ! IF I do get them rotors do u think i should replace the pads? The pads are in pretty good shape! thanks again

Just having fun
BTW- LPE383 - Those are the ones from JC Whitney. I did notice an improvement in fade resistance.My stock rotors would heat up fast when I would run the car hard, and the brakes would stop working as well.These still stop pretty good because of the better heat dissipation.
