Thanks for the information. I really like the design. I have a white 1965 Buick Skylark I want to put those wheels on.

Actually they are for a 88-98 chevy/gmc pick up truck projector headlights with halos, had to mod the header panel to make them fit since they are a one piece unit. And i actually got the idea from another person on the forum saw it, liked it, had to have it

Re: Finally Got My American Racing Wheels On!!

I sent American Racing an email to see if it is posible to get a 17" X 11" wheel for the rear. Even a 17" X 10.5" would do for 315/35ZR17 tires. Need all the traction I can get.

Sounds good i would have loved to go wider but i wanted the lip that i have plus its pretty close to having clearance problems with the 10s in the back and the thirdgen rear end. This is the website i used if you wanna check it out:

Re: Finally Got My American Racing Wheels On!!

Recieved and email and you can get these wheels in the 17" x 11" configuration. Just give them the backspace you need. So that seals the deal for me.
