What do you guys think of these wheels. I am thinking about getting them in 17x9 fronts/rears with Nitto 555 tires 245/45-17.
WITHOUT BEADLOCK. Its Camo and I dont like that. Or I might just get it painted black and keep them.

those are 8 lug truck wheels and would be really really heavy. Would look nice on my 88 suburban though

Thats some bullshit. I cant find any rims that fit 5-475 that I like. Every rim I choose is either for other cars or just plain out look stupid. I want something like this rim with a deep dish. Also they must come in at LEAST 17" and also 16 and 15". At a width of 9-11" wide.....I dont want 8" its to small.
I was looking at American Racing Rims but everyone has those and they really dont have anything I like. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME.
Not to mention TIRERACK 1010TIRES SUCK

What you guys think about these.
Centerline Convo Pro 15x9 Fronts Should I go 8"
Centerline Convo Pro 15x10 Rears
What do I choose about rear spacing...how is that measured?
What do you suggest for tires?
Need them for the street...looking for top brand.
Thanks much

15x10 rears would be 5.5 bs
15x8 fronts would be 4.5 bs
but honestly a 15x5 or 15x6 front rim would look sweeter for that big/skinny look
for tires, everything and anything will work, if it's your DD then you'd need more an all weather tire, if it's just for fun, then a M/T drag radial in 275/50R15 for the rear and some nice street tires for the front.

Is your car a DD? If so thats a badass look and I rather do enjoy it. What do you mean 5.5bs? 4.5bs? Is that backspace
If so would I get this # 5105-547 for the rears
http://www.centerlinewheels.com/whee...=i_15%20x%2010
And this # 5804-547 for the fronts
http://www.centerlinewheels.com/whee...e=i_15%20x%208
Also I need this car to take turns pretty whell also. So I am not fully agreeing with these sizes yet. I do want big rear though.
Will the 15x8 be sufficient for taking turns.
Lastly, what would I need to do to make the 15x10 work in the rear? Or how do i go abut making sure its not going to rub or something.

bs = backspace 
if you want taking turns then you want 17" rims
also for bigger rims and making them work use the search funciton, too many threads to retype it over and over

17x9.5 rears and 17x8 fronts. I will find out spacing needed so these fit under stock fenders/quarters
