If it weren't for the cheesy Photoshop job, and the bad picture, what would ya'll think of having these rims on my car? They'd be 17x8.5 on front, and 17x9.5 on the rear. BTW, those are the largest rear wheels I can seem to find (width at least) for the thirdgen f-bodies.

they look like 00' and up corvette wheels. and just cuz they only go to 11" dosnet mean you cant fit wider tires.i think the biggest tire they make are something like 355mm wide. which is somewhere between 13-and 15 inches (dont wana think about converting right now. but an easy gauge is if its 300mm than its one foot wide. and i know i can put 10" wide tires on my 8.5" vette tires.
