i want these rims... not really sure if they will fit correctly i dont' want to use spacers(adapters)

The lug pattern is good, and with the 13mm offset (stock 16s wheels have 16mm) will be good too.

Sure would be a lot of bling.

should work, my math says about 5.25" of backspacing, which may rub the tie rod end, a small spacer and/or some grinding of the tie rod end may be required

i have the 1le brake upgrade in the front...don't those rotors push the front tires out like 1/4 of and inch? i could handle a very light spacer(shim type) i don't want the kind where you bolt them to the rotor then the rim to that..

If I recall correctly, you have to use hub centric rings. The center bore of the wheels are different.

GM used a thin slip-on spacer that was .030" thick.

Wheel Spacer
• Originally used on F- body and is 0.030" thick
• Fits wheels/axles with 4.75" bolt pattern

ok..i guess i don't understand because my math don't add up to 5.25back spacing
...centerline of the wheel is 4.25inchs backspaceing, factoring 13mm of positive offset (appox 1/2 inch)...so wouldn't back spacing be 4.75? and i thought factory offset on stock 16inch irocs was 0 that being 4inch backspacing on the fronts...HELP!!!

Front 16"s are 0, rears are 16.

I have 17" x 9", 5"bs on my fronts & before I lowered my GTA, the tie rod end was less than 1/4" away from the rim. 1 finger (thickness, not width) would not fit between the two.

the size of the wheel is measured from the inside of the bead seats, thats the advertised width, a stock 16x8 wheel will measure just about 9" wide overall, hence the confusion on where the center line is.

if you have the 1le brakes, i think you will be ok without a spacer. You dont "need" a hubcentric ring, but they wont hurt.

I have to think how those would look with the center mesh painted gold like the GTA wheels though... photoshop anyone?

well, we will find out just how much bling they are... i ordered them today!!!! should be here friday

Post up a few pics when you get them...

I plan on it!!!

I have those wheels but in silver. You will have to mill out the center cap in the front of the wheel to clear the bearing hub grease cap on the front hub. but other than that they will fit

Nice looking wheels, I am also looking forward to some pics, great price too.

here they are.. i like'em. the forth gen rear is going to have to come back out though.. too wide

the rims look hot.. i would have went with the black ones with the yellow paint tho.. and would have gotten a bigger size with a lower profile tire.. but they do look good on the car..

i had 18's rode like crap.. those are 275 40 17's... and i had black rims on there.. too much black

Sweet!

But, your car sits a bit too high to pull them off all the way. I like them, do they come in 18's?

i believe they come in 18s.. its the way my car sits in the yard uneven ground.. but some drops springs are on the list of things to do.

looks good..but either your tires are too tall or the rims are too small..cant put my finger on it tho

love the rims. I wanta sell mine and do similar bmw style..

itsMikey, his car will look 10x better when lowered.Along with that 4thGen rear coming back out. His rims look to be sticking out some.

My vert sits on a 275/40/17 also but lowered.
