The look is what I am going for and their feedback looks allright but I want to make sure they are quality wheels before buying. I'd also appreciate any real world feedback on the largest rear tire/wheel/backspace I can fit on a 17" or 18" wheel on my bone stock # matching 1970 camaro SS. I don't want to cut or bend anything but I want to fill the wheel wells as much as possible.

Thanks!!

I have them. Great quality for a low price. Shipped fast also. On a first gen though.

What size/bs/tire are they?

Perfect sizing for a 2nd Gen Camaro in a 17" wheel is a 17x8 front (4.5"-4.75" b/s) with a 245/45 or 245/40 tire and a 17x9.5 rear (5.5" b/s) with a 275/40 or 285/40 tire.

These should fit stock wheelwells with no modifications and will fill them out nicely.

those wheels are too flat with no lip but they are a good starter wheel

I'm new to this so I'll ask...what do you mean by too flat with no lip? Are you saying they have too much backspacing? I'm afraid any less will put them into the quarterpanel lip...please help me understand.
Thanks

He is saying not enough. More BS moves the wheel closer to the center of the car away from the fender.

I bought these wheels (17X8 and 17X9) for my 79 Firebird. They fit well 2nd gen F-body.

They are torq trust M chinese replicas.

They come with center caps, nuts, and valves.
