18" replica iroc wheel question
I am so close to buying 18" iroc chrome replica wheels for my 86 Iroc and was wondering for the guys who have them if they have any turning clearance issues.If there's no issues I will be selling my stock rims which I just had redone and hyper silver painted with virtually new tires on them as well.

I got my tires mounted on the 18's today. I went with a 255/45/18 for the rear and a 245/40/18 for the front.
I tried to get the 255/45/18 to fit the front, but it was about an 1/2 inch to big. I am very happy with the stance the car has right now. I will post pics when the weather clears up.

I had 20" Irocs on my 89 Camaro RS for a while, looked nice..but I had to do some work on the wheel weld. Took them off to put 16" racing wheels for better traction and rubber.

Re: 18" replica iroc wheel question
I got a question about these rims too. I plan on putting 18's on my 91 rs but i am not sure which ones to by, cause on ebay there are some that i dont know the brand of and there is the american racing ones, which ones are better?

Re: 18" replica iroc wheel question
Your going to get mixed reviews on this. I can only tell you I had a good experience with customwheelsmarket.com
I have had mine for a long time now with no issues. They were good on price and had fast shipping.

Anything bigger than 18's is ridiculous for third gens! Here in LA its seen often and I want to slap the dudes that think it looks good! The bigger the rim does not mean your COOL! LOL

Re: 18" replica iroc wheel question
There's a dealer on eBay that sells them in a factory finish. Search for black iroc rims.
