Go to www.performancewheeloutlet.com , they have IROC wheels in 17x8 and 18x8. 245x45x17 and 245x40x18 are the most common tire sizes used for these wheels.

22's.....

i'd go with 18's. i wouldn't go through performance wheel outlet but if you have no other choice so be it.

a 245/40 if it's 8" wide will be perfect. good luck!

Hey thanks guys for the input. I actually want polished 18" Iroc-z wheels, I checked www.performancewheeloutlet.com but in the bottom it says "FRONT ONLY", whats up with that? My Iroc-z is a 1985 black inside & out with gold emblems/letters/stripes. If I purchase the polished 18" im planning on painting them "gold" like the originals(I bought it without the original wheels)?
What do you guys thing think? Any and all info is greatly appreciated, thanks again.

I called Performance Wheel Outlet about the "Front Only" wheels and they said they sell them that way so you could rotate the wheels.

if it's front only in a 0 offset that means that the +16 rear offset will push them out a bit more.

personally i do not like the quality of wheels from them but if that's where you choose be sure to know what your getting.

good luck and post some pics.
