Has anyone tried these wheels yet?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=360071051378
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!!

What size/bs/tire are they?
07-24-2008 #5Perfect 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.'67 Buick Skylark GS400 funny car "Ingenue" 8/10 HRM / Gasoline (Swedish) cover & feature 2/12

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.
