I figured there was so much talk about these rims I would dig out the info for everyone. ENJOY.....
Here are some SIZE OPTIONS all info was found in the Oct.99 isue of Chevy High Perf.
Article ZIG ZAG PART II. page 90-95.


This is the simplest and least expensive option. There are no custom offsets needed and vette sized YOKOHAMA A520 255/50 tires can be used.
SIZE BACKSPACING TIRES
FRONT 17x8 4.5 255/40/17
REAR 17x8 4.5 255/40/17

Standars offset in the front. Custom offset in the rear which will cost a tad more.

FRONT 17x8 4.5 255/40/17
REAR 17X9.5 5.5 285/40/17 (A520)

This is the maximum for traction and control with 275's front and rear. This set up will clear stock front end components and does not rub, even with the car lowered 1inch all the way around.

FRONT 17X9.5 5.5 275/40/17
REAR 17X9.5 5.5 275/40/17

I ABSOLUTULY LOVE those wheels! They look badass on any car they go on. I have seen a First gen Camaro w/ those wheels it was blue. I practically drooled all over it.

Do you know of any internet site with the chevy magazine articles in it. I checked ours and did not see them. Also, what months were the articals in case I have to backorder them. Thanks everybody.

HotRod

Does anybody know what offset I would have to run for 17x10's in back? Would these fit without major modifications and what size tires could I put on these. I am asking because 17x10's are cheaper than 17x9.5. Thanks

BigBlockJason

Those in the picture, look more like 8's in the front, and 9.5's in the back to me.
