Wheel guru's will this fit? http://www.wheelsforless.com/AR605M8912C
I've read thru hundreds of posts. But everyone has loads of conflicting info. I have a stock height 02 TA. I just want a good stance, larger diameter wheels for bigger brakes and I want to be able to rotate.
Anyone ran this size and offset?

and judging by the moderately deep lip and spoke design on those
wheels imo with out actually measuring it, you will need about 3/8" spacer
to get them to clear something like ctsv brakes which are pretty tall in the
brake height dept.

StreetGlider,
FYI, I have 19x9 shallow concave wheels with a +35mm offset on 4 pot CTS-V calipers and they clear fine. I also have custom wheels so hard to say but the convex TT wheels will have a harder time clearing for sure so my guess is no or it will be very close and you may need a 1/4" spacer or the like.

Thanks I dot mind running a 1/4" spacer I can live with that. On this set of wheels is the back spacing and offset what I'll need to fit the Trans am and give it a nice stance? I see so many good looking wheels on cars but rarely do they list the specs on the actual pics. It makes it difficult to duplicate a stance. I've pm'ed a few guys who's cars I liked but no replies from them.

Here, see if this helps
19" Forgeline SC3C
Strano/Koni, bottom perch and rear isolators removed
Front are 19x9 +35mm offset
Rear is 19x10.5 -15mm offset - (rear is narrowed 2.5" per side to get this offset, I wanted deep concave and 3.5" lip)
Backspacing is the opposite of offset except that backspace measures from wheel pad to back of rim lip and offset is from wheel center line to mounting pad. They give you the same information of wheel fitment, just in different ways.

none really, just allows you to run deeper dish wheels or lower numerical offsets.
My suggestion is to figure out what you want and then order the rear to fit it. I actually picked my wheel style and look first (offset), then my tire sizes, the I ordered the wheel widths to best fit the tire width since choices in 19" are very slim and I don't like the look of 275/30 tires. I almost ordered what the car allows for a factory fitment but it wasn't the look I was after so I made a last minute decision to narrow the factory rear to get the look I wanted, then ordered the wheels. It was a very long process but I think it paid off in the end.

TA looks good my man
as for the narrowed rearend
benefits is that the axles being shorter are stronger and lighter
you save some weight off of the housing as well.
downside is if you are or were able to rotate your wheels front to back
you can't do so anymore
here are some of mine from back in the day:

Ahh yes 69,
I remember seeing your pics when I was trying to pick my color. Your setup almost convinced me to do the blue as well. Just a bit to far out of my comfort zone so I went the safe route with polished. Yours looks good man. Damn good. I like the originality.
