Zero offset crosslace on all four corners?

Anybody (Firebird or Camaro) have pictures of their cars running 4 zero offset front crosslace (black or gold) wheels?

If so, please post. Thanks

Mine weren't the crosslace, but that doesn't matter. Zero offset 16x8" works fine on all 4 corners.

Re: Zero offset crosslace on all four corners?

Look up my 91 Formula.

Have 4 fronts on the car because the black cross lace were on my deceased 87 442.

Front looks normal obviously, it does give the back a little more aggressive stance. I like it and people, though few notice it and cant quite figure it out till they stare for awhile.

Only pic I could find, showing out front wheels on the rear stuck out, before witching to my 17" Snypers.

...Actually, that pic was taken after the Snyper swap.

But, for the OP, fronts all the way around makes the car look right and balanced.

You sure? The wheels seem to be in a bit too much, to be the Snypers? I know before I put the adjustable PHB on, the passenger side Snyper practically sit out past the fender lip. That seems too far in, to be a Snyper.

Re: Zero offset crosslace on all four corners?

I would love to do this also. I want to get a set of those repro gold crosslace wheels all in the front offset. Then lower it, and put some fat meaty tires in the back. I think it would look mean as ****.

Re: Zero offset crosslace on all four corners?

That's my plan, too. I don't know if I'm going to lower mine - at least not right away. My original gold crosslace wheels need to be refinished, so I figure I'll get the repos and offset some of the cost by selling the stockers.

Re: Zero offset crosslace on all four corners?

I've seen a lot of bad reviews on the repop crosslaces, about the polished lip having machining tool marks & the laces having bad/mismatching gold paint.

Re: Zero offset crosslace on all four corners?

I've read the bad reviews and I'm pretty certain they have to be better than the 21 year old wheels I have on there now. Worst case - I run the repos, keep the stock wheels and get them refinished at some point. From there I can either put them back on or put them away while the repos take the wear & tear.
