shit man you could eaasily get them powdercoated accents... lines kind of like your factory ones you have now have.. or like the 88 and 89 Irocs have where the indented slits are colored and the inner lip and the rest is chrome

like this.. excuse the pic I found it on the net but it shows the rim well ...

idono man there still just showing up as "image hosted by angerfire" im thinking about alot off different wheels now just dono wich any sugestions open to all

**mrr23** · 08-17-2006, 02:16 PM

on a third gen car, a 17 x 9 wheel with 5.25" backspacing is what fits without interference. if the wheel has 5.5" backspacing, then you'll need to grind a little off the tie rod to clear the wheel. i think it was car craft that did an article on fitting wheels on a thirdgen. this was with 275/40-17 tires.

just found this month's article online.

1982-1992 Camaros and Firebirds

15-inch: 15x8 with 4-1/2-inch back-spacing front and rear. Use tires with an aspect ratio of 55 or less with a section width of 255.

16-inch: 16x8 with 4-1/2-inch back-spacing front, 51/8 backspacing rear. Use tires with an aspect ratio of 55 or less and a section width of 255.

17-inch: 17x9 with 5-1/2-inch back-spacing front and rear. Use tires with an aspect ratio of 40 or less with section widths of 255 front, 275 rear.

18-inch: 18x9-1/2 with 5-1/2-inch back-spacing front, 18x10 with 6-inch backspacing rear. Use tires with an aspect ratio of 35 or less with section widths of 275 front, 275-295 rear

awsoem link i was almost bought some 15' with 295 on rear and 195's for front but i changed my mind cuz they were steelies and...15 inches that tec artical was good info it sed to go with a 255 for the fron on a 17'' wheel can u go with 275? or would that fuck up things

**toxik iroc** · 08-19-2006, 04:45 PM

ok so ive been dooin alot of lookin around does it effect anything that much if you go with
17x9.5 rear { 275's }
17x8.5 front { dono front }
would that work or should i just go all 9.5?? with 275 on all

**mrr23** · 08-19-2006, 05:45 PM

you could do 9.5" wide with a 5.25" backspacing all the way around with a 255/40-17 so as not to rub the inner fenderwell in the front.

one of the other mags did a 17 x 9 with 5.25" backspacing with 275/40-17 all the way around. SLP even came back with their 3rd gen wheels for a short time a couple years ago.

**toxik iroc** · 08-23-2006, 08:37 PM

so i decided to go with a staggered set 17x9.5 275 rear and a 17x8.5 245 in front is this bad for performance? if so lett me know b4 i order the set of rims wich hofuly will be perchased this week end

**toxik iroc** · 08-25-2006, 07:29 AM

**Eugenio_SS** · 08-31-2006, 03:56 PM

9" fit well on a 3rd gen.
here are some pix of 3rd gen w/ 4th gen wheels but had adapters to have the wheel stick out a bit more.
