Hey guys,

I'm interested in getting some 17x9 and 17x11 fikse's.
I've been searching for pics and found some, but what worries me is that the 17x11 go past the fender, and look a little odd.

Does anyone have a good angle to show how far the fikse's stick out in the rear?
Are they flush to the fender?

Just trying to put my worries to rest.

Thanks!

Not sure if this helps, but I have 17x9.5F and 17x11R on my car. I'm not sure if it would be the same for your Formula.

I dont think anyone will say your car looks odd with fikse wheels,just go with the f body offset and they will look great,most 11inch rears the tire will stick out just a tad,

Don't worry about the looks you will be fine.

If anything if you plan on running 315 wide tires just roll the fenders

What offset do most run on the 17 x 11 rears?

Fikse likes to run a 38mm or 44mm
personally I like to run 50mm or 52mm
but that requires more work, like
BFH mod, adj panhard bar

Theres a lot of guys in here with Fiskes, im sure they will chime in.

Also if your car is stock with no adj panhard bar
the wheels will look different from side to side.

One side sticks out more than the other.
That has to do with GM's same length axles on a rearend
that is placed offset in the car.

Why don't the stock wheels look different from one side to another, If the rear end is offset on the car?

TORK?

69TA is correct. For fbodies, sizes are 17x9.5 +38mm and 17x11 +44mm. If they were made for an fbody you shouldnt have a problem with either a camaro or firebird.

Fwiw, I've had 3 sets of 17x11 Fikse's on a Trans Am and a Camaro and I've never had to buy an adjustable panhard.

Put a 28" straight edge across on each wheel and run it up to the quarter panel for both sides

Do that and tell me if yours is even on both sides
