Grand Sport wheels? I dont know how big of a lip are on them, but they sure will look beautiful on your car!

that's cuz 8" wide is what you need to NOT use spacers...

haha...i have those wheels already, 17's on my jetta. they defenitly look sick. i wish the jetta would have been able to fit the 962's with the fat dish though...
now that you mention it...i might grab those and paint the spokes black (thats what i planned to do to the jetta anyway but the spokes matched my paint perfectly)
oh and ZZ4 86 Z28 those are Fiske wheels, probably over $3000 per set, wheels only

wait...black84z28-4spd are you sure those 962's will work because my set (i didnt think they made more bolt patterns) are 5x100 and 5x4.5 whatever that is metric. they will fit mustangs but not camaros...

yes i know...mustang is 5x4.5 and fbodys are 5x4 3/4 (which is 5x120.xxmm).
there might even be adapters to go from 4.5 to 4 3/4 but i doubt it because they are so close in size

I dont know why you'd run an adapter with those wheels, to clear things up, the sets they sell to 4th gen owners are the 5x120 MM, which they will bolt onto our 5x4.75(120.65MM) bolt pattern like BMW wheels. They are available in 18x8.5 with 35MM offset which will come out to 5.75" BS, simply running one of the brake upgrade kits available would knock you back to the typically ideal 5.5" BS up front, or with stock brakes just running the factory rear slip on spacers. In the rear the 18x9.5 with 35MM offset will be 6.5", again simply running a factory slip on spacer and you'll have a very nice fitment, or the 18x8.5 again in the rear, and no spacer, allowing you to properly rotate tires.

ok, wheelmax doesnt have them anymore...damn those look good with that dish.
355ss youre right because i cant run the dust caps on the rear of my jetta because of the wheel design.
but i wish they had these with black spokes so i didnt have to paint them...id probably get over the spacer issue. too bad they dont come any wider than 9.5" though
