17x9.5's up front and the 17x11's on the rear.

it'll be about 4-5 weeks until they show up.

I gotta get a car that isn't a front wheel drive import one of these days.

they fit with minor mods. i was planning on getting the old zr1 wheels which are the same size.
this car isnt lowered, and neither is mine yet, but it shows how much you can stuff in the rear well of the 4th gen firebirds.
i do plan on getting either hotchkis or strano springs that will drop it around an inch or so.



from the rear it looks kinda goofy, but its mainly due to the fact that its not lowered at all and a formula w/o the fancy schmancy ws6 bodykit.
but they fit...

i know i'm spamming... i'm admin, so deal.

heres some similar 17" tt's and zr1's with the car lowered a little over 1". i think it looks perfect.

Is that what you are driving to CT? That will be a nice gas bill.

I have the 17x9.5 17x11 275/40 315/35 combo on mine. I have loved the street lites since they hit the market, they must have just came out with the 17's, those are going to look absolutly killer. Priced well too, inbetween tt2's and the mega buck ccw's, fikse, so on. Those being billet shouldn't be too bad to keep up with, thats the main complaint with mine, the cast aluminum is VERY hard to keep looking good.

i dont know how long the street lites have been in 17". the guy i'm talking to wont have them for awhile yet.

i like your cars stance, what springs do you have?

cut stockers! I had bought a set of eibach pro kits, put them on but didn't really sit where I wanted it. I didn't really give them a chance to settle, just wasn't happy. The sportlines I was afraid would be too low, so I just cut these to my liking. I know everyone says don't do it, and was really trying to "do it the right way" on this one, but that is what I ended up doing. Been fine for about 18,000 miles. I rides good, 2 others have clipped theirs after riding in it.

cut stockers!
