You're right. You can't just look at the wheel. You have to visualize it on the car. Fortunately, they had a picture of those wheels on a Mustang(?) (hard to tell) so that helped a little. I linked it below.
I'm going to use 275/40-R17 Nitto 555R drag radials on the rear and 275/40-R17 555 tires on the front. That way I can swap off the back occasionally for some corner burning

1992 Firebird automatic, brand new engine/tranny/brakes/tires..paint is getting touched up- Medium blue
Mods that came w/car - New dual exhaust, maybe lowered cause the tailpipes (angled down 1 inch) scrape on driveway and so does front end..the accual fascia gets stuck if u go less than 2 mph! maybe new wires/plugs, and deff. a POSI unless the car came with the 2 wheel tire spin rear

QwkTrip,Looks great I've had my eye on those rims for a while now just wasn't sure how they would look on an F-body.I think they would look good on my pologreen RS.I was wondering what back spacing you have on the front,and why did you go with the 245/45/17?Is that what was recomended or would any thing wider have to much buldge in it?Sorry for all the questions but i'll be getting new rims in the next couple of weeks.

QwkTrip,Thanks for awnsering my questions.I have a 4th gen rear in mine so the back is going to be a different offset.I was originaly going with the Torque ThrustII but i'm not sure.There is also a set of billet specialties i like but again i'm not sure.I agree with you on the 5 spokes,there isn't anything better on an f-body.Decisions....decisions.....

I must aggree, keeping it simple with birds and formulas is a must. Any aftermarket ground effects or hoods kinda ruins its look. Springs and decent wheels are the best way to go as u can see with ur car and tom kellihers. Can't wait till the engine goes in.

Hey hey hey.. I didn't say they were horrible. I just think they look like plastic. I like the design a lot and they DO look good on your car, but I just wouldn't put em on my car.

QwkTrip, I must say, your Firebird is super clean. It looks sweet, and with those rims, it's a beauty. Very, very nice. Keep it up.
