Chrome IROC wheels

Just looking on ebay and all the chrome IROC rims have the same offset....no fronts, no rears.

Is this a problem when putting them on 3rd gens or do you need spacers?

thanks


No there not for my Formula

Re: Chrome IROC wheels

It's not a problem they will bolt right up. The factory wheels had a 16mm postive offset in the rear which was designed to pull in the rear wheels. This is to compensate for the wider width of the rear. It effectively pushes the rear tires in by 16 mm (roughly 5/8" per side). If you run the 0 offset wheels in the back they will just stick out a little further. You can see it in the pic xflgkingpin attached.

Re: Chrome IROC wheels

hehe, the reason i ask is i did it to my trans am.

I think it looks good, and i dont see why it is a 'problem' not being a camaro.

Let me know what you think!
