billet specialties 17X11 & 17X9.5 Street Lite
hello,
I know guys you have talked alot about this, but this time I'm gonna spend some bucks .
I want to know what is the optimum back space and offset for those wheels to fit my F-body without any issues, not to mention that I have C5 brakes in the front, I hope the 17" will fit without any problems.
Thanks in advance.

B/S has specific wheel fitments for the F-Bodies, so your best bet would be to work with someone who sells them and is familiar with F-Body offerings. As far as the C5 brakes work, you need to measure the size of the caliper compared to an F-Body caliper and then have your dealer figure out if they will fit.

Thanks John for the input, I send an email for B/S, and the said the right specs are :
17” street lite wheels for a 2001 f-body camaro
Front 17x9.5 7” Backspace 5x4.75 Bolt Circle
Rear 17x11 8.5” Backspace %x4.75 Bolt Circle
they didn't tell me the right offset.
now I'm confused because I read many threads here and some guys said the right backspace for the rear is 4.5", I don't want the rear wheel going out of the fender.
any other specs guys ??
what about the offset ??

I'm curious about this too, I remember hearing a couple times that they won't clear the C5 caliper. Update this thread please when you find out, I will be ordering a set when I know for sure they will fit.
