I'll ask you this for everybody else before they do.....Please turn off all caps. On the internet, that is considered yelling or if just 1 word in caps, then you are emphasizing that single word.

And if you are going to restore a 82, you can't put 16" or 17" wheels on. Because the factory did not offer those sizes on a 3rd gen in 82.

 

ok - maybe restoring was not the correct wordage, i would like to use 16 or 17 on the car, i checked and they look like they should fit? i have the 14 originals but want to get a little bit larger wheel. what do you think, thanks.

 

Jesus Christ TURN THE CAPS LOCK OFF

NOBODY will answer your questions until you stop typing like that. WTF is with noobs typing in all caps?

 

16, 17, or even 18s will fit , you just have to decrease the tire side-wall hight (aspect ratio) as the rims get larger to keep the overall tire height close the original height for clearance issues and so you dont have to change the vss / speedo gears.

Also, you should ask your questions on fitment and opinions in an appropriate thread using the search feature or you can start a new one. This thread is to display/view aftermarket rims as noted in the title, its considered rude to pop in and ask multiple off topic questions as we are trying to look at rims and rides here. Im not trying to flame you, just some simple guidance.

 

The wheels are Centerline Daggers 17x8 in the front with 245/45/17 BF Goodrich Traction TA KDW tires and 17x9.5 in the rear with 285/40/17 BF Goodrich Traction TA KDW tires

 

lookin sharp, p-roc.

.

 

Those are nice! I May buy some for my T/A. What is the backspacing on those? Are they all 4.5" BS? Also, are the lug nuts way up inside of the (lug) holes? Almost looks like there aren't any there in the pics?.?.

Thanks,
John C.

 

i ran bmw m6 rims with 265/30/19 and 295/30/19...nice lookin on camaros

 

 

17X9.5 Konig Monsoon wheels with 275/40/17 on all four corners

 

Here's what I just got. No more spacers and they clear my brakes!

 

Bimmer aftermarket wheels on my Camo:


best regards

 

Details please!

 

in the same boat as 91 1le, slightly different style wheel

no spacers (for me anyway), they clear the brakes (thank god) and are meaty

 

They are Miro 111's. Fronts are 18x8.5 ET 20, rears are 18x9.5 ET 20. These are a 5 Series BMW fitment. The 5x120 bolt pattern will be corrected shortly.

 

My street tires on the car.

 

See my signature.
TSW 18x8 front 18x9.5 rear.
No spacers. Direct fit with a custom touch

 

16x8 ion "muscle car" wheels

 

And they fit fine with no steering issues? What gen 5 Series wheels works on our cars?

I need something wider for the power I'll be putting down. Also curious as to what method you're going to use to "correct" the bolt pattern. I've seen everything from "hub centric rings," different bolts, to guys drilling the wheels.

 

Hub centric rings are required either way. They only make sure the wheel is centered on the axle/hub. Mine were $9 shipped from ebay. I will be correcting my bolt pattern the right way by recutting the lug seats a la 86TA's method. There are no "different bolts" that will solve the problem. Some people say you can run the wheels as is but I am choosing not to. It isn't a big deal to fix them and I will feel much safer after doing so. Look up 86TA's thread on the BMW PCD correction and take a look at the pics.

I'm not sure on the years of Bimmers that will work. Just look for the correct offset you need. I'm going to run a 295/35/18 on the rear. Not sure how much bigger you are wanting to go but I don't feel like doing any wheel well modifications so I got what I got. I spent many hours searching for wheels and plugging their specs into the calculators in the stickies above to make sure I got the perfect fitment. I also had my ginormous brakes to clear so my selection was limited. I would have liked to get a wheel with a nice lip but that doesn't jive with big calipers.

 

Just got them a couple days ago, ordered tires, should be in tomorrow

18x8 in back 0 offset
17x8 in front 0 offset

should look pretty decent when all is done

 

Nice, those deep concave miro 111s clear those calipers? The M111 was one of the wheels I was contemplating, went a different route but good to know they have that much caliper clearance

 

Makes me sad when you see a beautiful 3rd gen that, if treated right, could be one showy car, and people like you brother treat them like scrap (hehe) and just basically throw them away.

I saw a early 90's Camaro in a Walmart parking lot about 3 weeks ago. The car had at least 3 different colors worth of body parts, looked beaten to and from hell and back, and the shocks were out on the right side making the car sag and even LOOK sad. It looked at me like it was saying "Take me home and take care of me."

Seeing that poor thing was quite the bum-out. Never saw the driver though, but that was probably because it was an abandoned car.

 

They actually clear quite well. I call Miro and spoke to a tech that said he was 95% sure they wouldn't work. So I sent him the template from Baer and they checked it.

 

don't forget to post pics when it's all done, would like to see a pic of them with tires on the car

Made the car look completely different.

 

How much did it cost you for parts on baer brakes and the rims+tires? I'm still looking at zo6 rims but not sure if baer brakes have enough space? They look so sick, I been eyeing those brakes lately, but theres so many different ones. And how hard is it to swap all four originals with drums to baer brakes? Just got a new job last month at Wal mart DC, pays good while I'm also still at school. So I'm stacking it up until summer comes around to get my car running again.

 

Stock RS rims painted black. I pretty much got a brand new set of rims for 8 bucks. If you take your time and prep they can turn out pretty nice. Obviously nothing like spending thousands on rims but, on a 20 footer in general they look good. The second picture is what they were before paint when I just bought the car.

 

The title of this thread requests AFTERMARKET wheels. Not stock. Anyway, they looked better before you painted them black.

 

If you like your rims, don't worry about other's opinions. We get that guff about "old, stock and dirty" from yuppy's riding $40,000 trailered in bikes.

 

Do what?

 

It ain't polite to diss someone elses' ride in public...

 

Searching for rims and came across these. I kinda like them

 

would be even better with wooden spokes

 

Ugh! Looks like a photo taken from directly below in a gay **** movie!

 

and you know this how? LOL

 

Yeah how did you know that. Never really looked at one of those sites..lol
Found these in rear wheels site..

 

so nobody (except mctroup) see's this wheel as having phallic shaped spokes? mega fail going on there

is this real, or ?????

 

Still like the wheels now?

 

yes I love the rims! And by the way I am not a man. You guys don't like the rims? I think they would look really hot on a third Gen

 

Well that explains it. Would definately be unique and you'd get a lot of looks.

 

I wouldn't run them on mine, but They might look good on a pink Peterbuilt!!!!

 

"wood" for spokes???? me thinks you are the one not recognising the others recognising the sword fight going on in that wheel

 

hers mine, 19's. 8 in the front and 9.5 in the rear.

 

anyone ever see speed racer
im looking for flat black rims with wholes arounf the rim.... cant find them

 

I was looking at these for mine, I have a 4th gen rear so I would need spacers on the front

 

I'm a Foose fan
