Re: 4th gen SS wheels

Looks great ! Are those 17x9 all the way around ?

I'm trying to find a set for my Trans Am but keep coming up with the nearly identical 17x9.5 corvette wheels.

Yes. These are the ones made specifically for the 4th gen Camaro’s

Re: 4th gen SS wheels

You've come a LONggggggggggg Way Baby !!!!!

Gonna' have mine mounted up soon too !! They will never look as good again. Factory GM ZR1's, 2 are "gently" used and 2 are practically NOS. I've had this set stashed away under my stairs for the better part of 20 years. I think I'm gonna' use black bow-tie centers this time rather than red bow tie.........




Dude; Your car just screams HIGH_RISE SPOILER to me; LMK if you ever get the 'itch' !!


WildCard600: They look GREAT on Trans Am's too ! ( Don't care about my 'tag' showing, I already sold this car,.......... TWICE !! And that's a different set of ZR1's ! )

i so love the looks of the wheels. Especially painted this color. I did put 3/4” spacers on the rear to push them out a little. With the LS1 brake upgrade in the front it left the rear wheels tucked to much and made it look awkward. As for the hi rise spoiler I’m not much for it. I like this look.

Re: 4th gen SS wheels

The factory finish wheels would look good on your ride, but I totally agree with you,... that color wheel matches your car great. I had to space the fronts and I'm running a 98-02 rear-end so the fronts needed spacers for the Vett & ZR1 wheels but the back was OK.

Yeah I have 2” spacers on the front. That little extra from the LS1 brake upgrade just pushed them out a tad. It has a 4th gen rear from a 99 T/A in it now. The more I looked at the rear end the more I wanted them flush with the lip. I will never have anyone it the back of the car so rubbing should not be an issue.

Re: 4th gen SS wheels

Hey thanks, I think it's the lump of the hood scoop that makes the spoiler work. Dose not matter which style hood either.
My wheels came off of a HOSS Camaro, I am not sure how wide they are though. I have the LS1 brakes like the OP and 2" spacers all around.
