I have spent many hours the last couple of days deciding what rims/tires to put on my 87 IROC. I saw a couple posts about the black IROC rims that can be found online, but they didn't come in 18's, now they do.

I found these on there and they look really good and come in 8.5 on the width instead of 8's like most of the others. They are quoted online with tires, but I called 209customs.com and they quoted me a price for rims only of $799 for 2 18's and 2 20's, 8.5 width, 13mm offset (that is the price to my door).
Are these good? They seem like they are a good price compared to others and they are painted!
If they are good can I go 285/30/20 back on 255/35/18 fronts (BFG KDW NT) without rub and fitment issues? With the 13mm offset do I need 2" spacers all around?
Like I said I did a lot of reading. I know there is a lot of info out there, but I think this is kind of a new question.
Thank you,
John

you should not need any spacer at all, if anything, a small shim or slip on spacer but i doubt you will need that. Look up how to calculate the offset/Backspacing and see for yourself.
that rear tire is 1" taller than stock, should fit ok.

I'm just trying to learn from others mistakes. I'm going to sleep on it. The rims seem like a great deal for $799, but it makes me wonder if maybe they aren't that great.

Someone has a set here they are selling. They looked nice on his blazer. They were 20's all around. They look pretty sick. Like any rim, it depends how well you keep them clean & away from curbs.
