im looking at aftermarket wheels for my bird and i was just wondering what wheel offset is best or works or dose not

 

I would also like to know were I might get two steel wheels for my 83. The widest possible for a 10" to 12" tire. Sorry for hitching on to your post maybe we can both learn.

 

You guys really shoulda started by reading the thread at the top of this Forum.

what size wheels are you looking for and what type?

 

14"x9"-12" steel Rally style rims. Thanks for asking.

 

how bout like 15 or 16 inches in diameter?

 

Maybe 15" and I just need two the only thing is money is tight, but still looking.

 

You don't want 14" wheels - limited choices in sizes and tires, plus the largest brakes you can fit are going to be about 11" or stock size.

 

Could I fit 15"x12" into the rear fender wells?

 

Yes. And READ the link I already gave you.

 

I learned tons by reading the link and others like it above. I ended up going with 0 offset all the way around and 9" wide rims. I have 285's (11") tires on the rear with no fitment issues and the tire I went with is an inch taller than stock. You could get away with a little bit of an offset to tuck in the rears a little, but mine go right to the edge where I think it should be.
