Thank you, i've done alotta searching and found nothing really.. that helps alot, i'm getting Z06's put on soon and that was the size, i just wanted to get an idea on what they'd look like better, any rear shots would help alot

I have 4th Gen SS wheels that are 17x9, note sure if that is what you are looking for but I can get pics if you want.

AC -
What brand/model wheels are you running? They are just what I am looking for!

'86 Camaro BoSs

Yea, close enough, like i said, i just want to get a general idea of what they'll look like on my car

'86 Camaro BoSs

Thank you, just what i was looking for taht looks sweet

What size are those up front

ram air'd gta

iTrader: (2)

fronts are only 17x8, rears are the 17x9.5.

'86 Camaro BoSs

would you think that having 17 x 9.5 up front would rub?..

ram air'd gta

iTrader: (2)

no, I've heard of others running that size up front with no issues. I would personally recommend 8's up front though. It looks bad *** like that. That's my thoughts. What kind of rims are you looking at??

'86 Camaro BoSs

i'd like to get 8's up front, but they only make them in 9.5...

I am getting Black Z06's put on here soon.. les schwab claims that they'll fit my car with no spacers or anything.. so we'll see soon

'86 Camaro BoSs

scratch the rubbing thing, talked to a guy at les schwab that actually has a camaro and he said their book is right and we can run as wide as 9.6's so i'm good.. Thanks alot for the pics, i'll be sure to post some pics up with the rims on later

The wheels I have are ROH RT's with a black ice finish. 17x9.5 rears, 17x8 fronts. Nitto rubber all around. My ROH's might be up for sale soon with the tires (only 1000 miles on them) because I want to go 19" rear and 18" fronts. I'll be taking a rear picture this weekend and post it up.

Tobias05

i have 17x8 at all four corners with nitto rubber. that extra inch and a half on the rear makes a HUGE difference. wish mine sat like that!

'86 Camaro BoSs

would a drop be needed you guy's think?

L.I.N.Y.92CAMARO

Tobias- You can get a wide tire on a 8 inch wheel as well. You wont be getting a 295 tire but you can go pretty wide without buying new wheels.

I've got 10 out back and 4 up front and IMO a 315 tire out back looks the best on these cars.

Also one more thing to remember is that the wider of a tire you go in the front the higher the chance of the car drifting around and pulling hard when you hit a line in the road or something. Just to keep in mind.

Had to ditch the mudflaps because it looked like I was trying to stop a waterfall with a 2X4.

They rub the slightest bit at full lock but its not a problem at all. My cars stock height but i think they would be fine with a one inch drop.

'86 Camaro BoSs

ok.. so if i'm not crankin the wheel i'll be good.. that's good to hear.. i know that i'm going to need to drop the car cause it bugs me of the gap that our car's have after we put these big of rims on.. thanks for the info guys.. anymore pics or info on the drop would be appreciated

those vette wheels will rub i have 18x10.5 in the rear and 17x9.5 in the front and all four rub i cant lower the car because the rears wont tuck in the wheel well and it wont turn very well..... nothing a little fabrication wont fix though

//<86TA>\\

iTrader: (15)

ahh, go big or go home, 18x12 with 335's all tucked up nicely


please ignore the gahy exhaust, i tripped on it and it a bit off in the pic

iTrader: (9)

either those stick out, or you've seriously bashed your fender wells, and you have to have cut off the bump stops too. As a matter of fact, you have to be really close to rubbing on your lower control arms. any more details?

ls2 dude

iTrader: (2)

what he said i had to cut off bump stops at 275 in the rear id go wider if i could with out shortening my axle

//<86TA>\\

iTrader: (15)

yeah, its a lot more work than its worth but its cool. the car is minitubbed, coil-overs, custom offset control arms, ect.
I can fit 345/30/18 drag radials and still have room.
The wheels are tucked nicely, about 5/8" in from being flush with the fender

they look awesome as hell did you buy a kit or make the wells yourself

ls2 dude

iTrader: (2)

its dirty and i need better pics

//<86TA>\\

iTrader: (15)

made it all from scratch, worked out better for me.

those are some nice looking wheels, ls2dude, they go very nicely with the shiny new brakes
