I need pics of Fikse 17x11's on CAMARO's. FM-5's if ya got 'em. I don't care what Fikse they are, just as long as they are 17x11. I'm looking for angled pics of them from the back where I can see how far they stick out of the wheel-well. If you have a ground shot shooting at the rear wheel down the door standing by the front wheel that would be awesome <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ... if you have one that is. I'm still debating on 17x11 and 17x9.5 in the back. The 17x11's just seem to stick out too far and I don't want a lawsuit when someone not looking trips over one. j/k. (I'm in a good mood, I'm getting Fikse!)

Re: I need pics of Fikse 17x11's on CAMARO's. FM-5's if ya got 'em. Well I dont have fikse's but I do have the right offset for the 11 inch rim here are the pics if you are just curious about the offset. With a pic of your car I can photochop some fikses on it!

Re: I need pics of Fikse 17x11's on CAMARO's. FM-5's if ya got 'em. Those are the single best two pics I have ever seen! They are exactly what I'm looking for. After I read the post, I thought it was too confusing. That rim/wheel package is badass. That is the PERFECT fit for a camaro. Now I'm worried that the Fikse are gonna stick out too far. The pics I've seen look much worse than that. I know the rear quarter panels on firebirds are wider than camaros and they are barely flush with them so they must stick out on a camaro. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> Oh well too late now, I already bought them. Did you have to order that backspacing and offset custom or do the Torque Thrust II's come that way? Do you know what the specs are? Thanks.

Re: I need pics of Fikse 17x11's on CAMARO's. FM-5's if ya got 'em. Actually my friend has the fikse FM5 on his TA and his stick out just a little more than mine. It looks as if the rear of the TA is wider but I beg to differ cuz mine tuck under better IMO
P.S. Sorry mike I had to! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> O yea and on the backspacing I just told then that they were for a Camaro and Discount already knew what backspacing that I needed!

Re: I need pics of Fikse 17x11's on CAMARO's. FM-5's if ya got 'em. How much further do they stick out? Are we talking a quarter-inch or a half-inch? Do you think it looks bad? I mean, does it not make much of a difference or does it look worse in a negative way? As far as the TA's not being wider, maybe. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I just know that they are the same frames and the quarter panels really seem to buldge out quite a bit more than camaro's do. Have you tried putting your rims on his car or his rims on yours? That would defenitely solve it. Your TT II's might tuck under in his and his Fikse might buldge out on yours...?

Re: I need pics of Fikse 17x11's on CAMARO's. FM-5's if ya got 'em. We havent swapped rims yet but it sosent look bad. They only appeared to stick out just a tad almost nothing like a quarter of an inch or maybe even less. Once the car got lowered then they didnt seem too bad. I wouldnt worry about it the car still look mean as hell here are some pics of his car with the fikse's

Re: I need pics of Fikse 17x11's on CAMARO's. FM-5's if ya got 'em. What is the best place to buy Fikse FM-5's rims and what do they go for? The 17x11's look really good on the cars.
