Hey guys I have a 2000 Trans Am WS6. Before I start off yes I know this topic has been wore into the ground and yes i did multiple searches and couldn't find a solid answer as it was either one or the other. Anyways im looking into the ZR1 replicas from oe wheels, the 17x9.5 in the front and the 17x11 deep dish in the rear with the 50 offset. I know the fronts will fit fine but the rears concern me. Some people say there's bolted right on with no problems and some say they had to BFH and grind bumpstops. I need to know what should I expect? Iam stock ride height and plan to stay that way. Any info would be greatly appreciated

The Firebird/Trans Am's have bigger wheel well's than the Camaros, those who have had to grind or pound with a hammer more than likely had a Camaro. You can even PM one of the OEWheels guys on here as they are a sponsor for the best clarification on what off-sets to get.

Stock ride height? ?? Dont plan to stay that way,a drop makes the car look so much better,best appearance mod ya can do

Also,every car is different, ya might have to bh ya might not,mount them up and ya will find out,i dont know why everyone doesnt wanna do the hammer mod or roll,bigger rears look better,and the mods protect slicing tour expensive *** tires

On my Camaro, I had to use an adjustable panhard bar, trim the bumstop mounts (after installing smaller urethane bumps), roll the outer lip and slightly hammer the inner wheel well in the front/lower portion (just forward of the axle, above the lower control arm)

I have read that some cars need less, some need more... I also used 315/35/17 Nitto NT555's which I am told are "narrow" by 315 standards.

I have absolutely no experience on Pontiac's...

Ok thanks guys, and yea I know dropping it makes it look good, but im gonna eventually make it a drag car so no need to drop it

i have them. I had to center my rear, and grind my bumpstops, only for when the rear is hanging. Like on a lift. my my lt1 car 17x11s fit no problem. I havent rolled my fenders or done any BFH mods.

Not to start something but if its going to be a drag car get use to using a cutting wheel and a hamer a awful lot lol,

O trust me I know its gonna b lots of hammering and hacking haha. For now its just gonna b a street car, later on down the road it will b dedicated to drag only. Appreciate the info buddy. And dam I do have a stock panhard, guess ill pick up an adjustable one. I do have acces to a lift as well

Just make sure thats the direction ya wanna take with it,just to ask what tires ya going with?11inch rears with 315s gives the best look on these cars,every car is different ,i would get the wheels n tires first then if ya need a panhard get one,i see maybe a few wacks with a hammer n maybe a lil grinding,

I'm getting the package with the shitty sumitumo tires haha. I know they suck but since I only drive this car maybe 2000 miles a year now that I got my dd I don't need sticky tires yet. For now I only drive it to shows or big cruises. And since I'm only full bolt on and tune not making crazy power I think I'll be fine.

I think you'll be fine man, at most might need a adjustable PHB if the rear is sagging or misaligned. Your car never looked like it was sagging so I think you're be good.

Ill find out soon haha thanks Mike!
