I picked up some tires the other day and the guy I got them from also has these 16x9.5" ARE wheels that he is selling.
They were on an 87 Vette he picked up but is upgrading brakes and these won't fit.

I am probably going to get them for the Formula so that I don't put too much wear on the 555RII tires I have on my ZR1's, I just need to make sure they will clear the LS1 rear brakes and fit on the car right.
I will be upgrading to C5 brakes in the front within 9 months but I don't think these wheels will but I'll be able to use them till then.
They look a little like a GTA crosslace, just needs to be cleaned up, repaint the centers, and change some of the bolts that are rusted.
What do you all think about the wheel?

 

sweet dude, they'll look awesome since they're so friggen wide! what size tires ya thinking about putting on them? get some pics of them on the car!

 

I think those would look pretty good, especially with that new paint job youre getting.

 

I like the bilstiens and the tubular control arms in the background. nice touch

 

them are sweet when u are done with them I will buy them off u. Let me know

 

The tires are 255/50/16, I think they are Bridgestone Potenzas.

Those parts in the background aren't mine (except for the coated headers you'll see in this pic)


These parts are going on my friend J's TA's 82 Trans Am.

 

Cool, I'll let you know in a few months.

 

i never liked the crosslaced type wheels on firebirds. thats just my opinion.

 

those wheels look sweet, I like them, your car will be bitchin' with those onec you clean them up.

nice wheels , too bad you have to run spacers to make them fit . And your only gonna run a 255 on a 9.5 inch rim , i think tou have been talkin to graboid about tire choices then . WHy not a 275 ?

 

I am only running 255 since that is the tires that were on them and those are what I bought.
