Firebird staggered corvette rims. Questions Hi. I am new to this forum and figured you guys could help me out. I am currently looking at the black Z06 Motorsport rims. I will be putting this on my 2002 firebird coupe.
Front (17 x 8.5) w/ 245 tires: http://www.corvetteguys.com/c5z06-bl...eel-17x85.html
Rear (18 x 9.5) w/ 275 tires: http://www.corvetteguys.com/c5z06-bl...eel-18x95.html
When I was reading it seemed like they were designed for corvettes and not my firebird. I was just checking that these tire/rim setup would fit onto my car w/o any extra work. I was also not sure if this is the best setup. I am open for change. I am also not sure if my firebird has a different wheel setup then a trans am. Either way I finally have the money for the rims and would like to order them soon. Also any links to a good website would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help

Another site with some options. Not sure which is best. Open for opinions
http://www.corvettegarage.com/produc...-corvette.html
http://www.corvettesofhouston.com/pr...roducts_id=104
http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com...rt-black.shtml ($650 not half bad)
Hmm. Who to trust.
O ya. I realize I have a lot of wheel well space and filling that up is a priority without any rub so if 18 x 9.5 all around is best then I am down for that

Yeah they are bad ***! They get nothing but good feedback from what I see and you can bet when I decide to buy wheels I am buying from them.
You can try looking into there other corvette style wheels some cost more than others, but check out there y2k's and zr1's, c6's, ect... all very good looking wheels on 4th gen's.

So I am ordering the 18 x 9.5 black z06 rims. I have read a few things about tire sizes and wasn't sure what would look best all around. Possibly 275 on the back and something a little less wide up front? I don't want to use spacers and all that stuff so I am a little worried about turning rub up front. I have seen a lot of pictures so far and thinking 18's all around looks amazing. Help me decide what tires to put on it!
