This isn't really Aftermarket Product Review related so I'm moving it to ADA board. Also, I would highly suggest you do a search.
yep, search. I searched and researched this a couple weeks ago. What I thought look best was the firebird with some kind of AR rims. That firebird has a thirdgen rear and a 6 inch offset on the 11 inch wide rims. I think it was a green bird.

they'd be very wide, too wide IMO. I have 10" wide rims with a 5.73" backspace and 6mm offset, wish I would have gotten 9.5" or 9" wide.
The reason being my rear tires are 275/40's which are 10" wide, however when you add the lip of the rim, the rims are wider then the tire which makes it look a bit off. I'll have to try some 295's or 305's for rear tires next time, but I'm convinced they'll rub and I'll run into problems.
