Re: year one bandit snow flake wheels?????
no our rims are 16x8 those are 17x9 (i would get the bigger ones smaller would look weird but you wont be able to turn the wheel clock to clock all the way it will burn a hole in the plastic wheel liner so you will need to be cautious) but if you crunch the numbers and try to make up for the larger rim by reducing the side wall height so they are the same height from the ground it should work fine and they look like standard gm 5 bolt layout so that should not be a problem

These look great on the Pontiacs... I'd be interested in seeing them on a Camaro, though.

Re: year one bandit snow flake wheels?????
I think they only look good on the 82 to 84 TAs, the 85 and up just don't work with them. Now if you are talking any 2nd gen - they of course look awesome.
You definitely don't want to stick a 315 on a 9" wheel. Too narrow - need an 11" to fit.

How on Earth they do NOT offer an Iroc wheel wider than 8" is beyond me. ....staying on topic....yet ANOTHER fantastic looking repop of a factory original wheel, but in a modern size. I think this wheel looks great. -and it'd look great on a Camaro too. I'm still holding out for Iroc wheels though.

Re: year one bandit snow flake wheels?????
Easy to answer: 8" fits everything, 9.5" does not.
And even the 9" is a tad narrow for a 275 tire, again to fit more applications.
