I just recently purchased 4 17x9 AR rebels an I have a 98 t/a and would like to know if I will have fitment issues on these wheels? the offset is 25mm. Any help would be great!

I have a '98 with 17" rebels. I currently have 245's on it and there are no issues. I would think it's possible to run up to a 275 width on these without a problem, but I have yet to look into doing this. Here's a pic:

I have 18s on mine and have no problem with fitment! Are you putting 275s all the way around.

I was going to go with tire size: 245/45/17 up front and in the back 275/40/17 Does anybody have them sticking out too far or rubbing issues?

Go with a 245/40/17 for the fronts. Thats what I have always ran on the 17x9 rebels. The fitment is perfect!

Anyone have any better pics of these wheels? I can get them for pretty cheap at work.

stankilr your t/a looked awesome! what made you go with 18 and not 17 in the back? offset? Also, will the 245/40 match the 275/40 in the back as far as sidewall? or 245/45 be better?

I loved the deep dish look in the rear. The 245/40/17's will match the 295/35/18's in the rear.

I'm sorry I meant for my car. With having 275/40 in the back, Should I go with the 245/40 or 245/45 in the front?

So everyone's running the 245's up front with the Rebels? I'm about to buy a set of 17x9 black rebels and was going to put 275's all the way around but I've heard that setup will rub on the front due to the offset.

The 18x9 rebels have a +12 mm offset....would these have less "rubbing" issues than the 17's with the 24 offset?

I have 4 17x9 rebels and am running 275/40/17 all the way around. I know in the front there is a tiny tiny rub in the front inner fender but nothing that would cause and problems.

Also when i launched sideways once, I got some fender slash in on tire but that was a freak accident cus it has not happened again.

Here are some pics.

Mine is a 1997 Trans Am though, but fenders should be mostly the same.

brejhca what offset are your rebels? From what I got the offset +25 will work in front and back but better in back with 18x10 offset +41! I just dont want my rims too far out. I was going to run 245/40 or 245/45 up front! Anybody with diff. suggestions? ideas?

You would want to go with a 245/45 then. Im an expert on rebels if you have not noticed. lol

paugust73

I've noticed. thanks! I would like to maybe go w/ 18's on the back, but we'll see about the $$$

Goodluck finding the 18x10's. I ordered the last set AR had in stock and one of the rims was fucked up so I sent them back. They will not start making them untill late april.
