My snow tires are mounted on gold IROC rims, ran the every winter on my Formula.
The people who knew they didn't belong there did make some comments, but most people just ignored them.

Well aware they are not IROC wheels but, here's my turd wasting away (old picture) on 91-2 camaro wheels..

While they aren't quite fitting to the body style... there are much worse wheel choices to be made.

Enjoy this post..

yeah. it sits really aggressive. those iroc's had 235's on them. I bottomed out EVERYWHERE. lol. I put on some formula rims with 255's and I'm pretty good. the only issue is that they rub in the flares when I turn hard. I'm gonna raise her up a bit. I might go with some eibach 1" drop springs. but for now I'm running stockers again.
