17's on an 89' IROC

I have an 89 IROC currenlty with the 15" IROC rims.

Anyone Running 17's???

Im looking at the Edelbrock wheels by Ultra. Their '409' series rims looks pretty tight.

Will a 17x8 rim with the back set 4.25 and offset -06(whatever in the hell that means??) fit on my car?

Also what does the bolt circle measure on these cars?


And where can I get some clear lenses for the blinkers in my front bumper cover????

Do they make clear ones for the fenders to?

Any help is appreciated

Yup, I'm running 17 x 9.5 (I believe) Artera 4th gen Firehawk knock-offs. not sure of the backspacing, I made some 1" spacers out of 6061 aluminum for all for corners. Fronts actually needed another 5/8" but they aren't rubbing so I'm not worried about it. I dont have any photos right now, but I just took some yesterday do I should be able to post them in a few days. I also have Hotchkis lowering springs, and it looks badass now.


oh, dont know if you wanted to see them on any particular car. I've got a '92 RS

All IROCs with 16s came with a wonderbar (a steering box brace, which fits under the front sway bar and attaches to the frame on either side. There are after market versions from Spohn, Top-Down Solutions and Global West). I was told recently that IROCs with 15s didn't have the wonderbar. I'm curious.
