pics of staggerd irocs?

i found a set of 18" chrome iroc wheels like mine. and i know i dont want to run 18's up front but i was thinking it might be coold to use two of the 18's for the back. b/c right now i have alittle rake and with a bigger wheel in the back it might make them look pretty good. idk so opinions are welcome and i would love to see pictures. but i havent heard of anyone doing this b4.

here is the stance and wheels now.

What size is on there right now? I think the rear tire looks good right now, I'd go an inch smaller in the front.

Staggered sizes dont work on camaros in my opinion. The shapes of the rear compared to front it doesnt look right. If you look at a side view of a viper or a vette it works perfect. Keep it the same size

i like it how it is now but i wanted 18's to begin with but im glad i didnt get 18's though b/c my 17's scrub the inner fender wells with it being so low. i just think a bigger wheel in the bag might give it a meaner look. im pretty sure camaroguy has staggerd sizes and i think it looks hot. i will have to see if i can get a real good deal on the two then i might get em. if the 18's this guy has are wider than 8 inches i will be getting them quick fast and in a hurry. but i have motor issues to work at now ill have to see how it goes... thanks for the opinions guys.

18inchboyds my car is very very low but i have a little bit of room to work with in the back. i think it wouldnt be a problem running the bigger wheels in the back im sure it wouldnt ride great but i think it would look better. i have actually thought about lowering the back another 1/2 inch. but idk if i will or not. if i do anything i will take out that rubber piece that is at the top and put some hose around the spring that should bring it down a little.

my uncle has 17x9.5 irocs on his camaro... i have not been able to find them online anywhere but he has them on his, they were on it when he got it. but i checked with the guy and the 18's are 18x8's so i will have to see if we can work something out.

i am contemplating selling the car when the motor is finished. i found this deal on these two wheels and would like opinions b/c if i keep the car this is something i would like to do... it is up in the air right now though what is going to happen with the car. my dad doesnt want to sell me the 67 but my mom wants me to have it. so i have to find out real soon what im going to do b/c the motor is almost ready to come out and i have to decide what to do b/c if i am going to sell the car i will just get a 305 bottom end that runs well (which i have found about 4 in my area) and replace it with mine. but if i keep it im going to rebuild a 350 to put in it. mw66nova is helping me with parts selection b/c he is very skilled with motors. hopefully matt will help me through assembling it too ... if i go that route.

leave it, it looks perfect in that pic. Can someone please tell me where to get those rims from and what there called/what there name is? When i first started see them i just figured they where the stock rims polished & chromed, but as far as i know NO thirdgen came with 18" so they have to be aftermarket. No rims look as good as those do on a thirdgen, im getting a set forsure for my Z28!

I remember that car....made it look decent, but I still dont know what's with the exhaust?


keep in mind too that the angles of each photo help the staggered stance look better....from a direct side shot, I doubt it would look as clean

that looks like it would look decent although 20"s are huge. i think the 17 up front and 18 out back would be a little more suttle but i think im just going to keep mine like it is thanks for all the infor and comments and thanks alot for the pictures.

I have a set of the 89 15" IROC rims. I been joking around that I should stager them with a pair of the 16's in the rear. I might try it one day. Adam :-)

i had a set of v6 springs from mw66nova that i cut down to lower the car but i didnt like the ride and i didnt take into consideration that it would settle so when i cut them i got it sitting how i wanted it but then it settled and lowered more than i wanted.

i have intrax 2" lowering springs on there now. i get compliments on the stance all the time.

here is the new stance though lol... the motor is out.
