Default Need to replace this rim

Someone hit and ran my Camaro and I need to replace the rim but I'm having a really rough time finding the exact one


My rear tires are 315/35/17 and the rim width measure d 10.5 inches and 4.5 inches between the lug nuts. I found an American racing rim that's very similar but has a different wheel cap and I found the exact same style rim but I can't it in 10.5 in width. Any help is appreciated.

That is a Torq Thrust II wheel, and is likely 11" wide (I don't think they ever made a 17" diameter TTII in a 10.5" width). If your Camaro has a factory GM rear end, then the bolt pattern (space between lug nuts) is actually 4.75".

As bad as that rim looks, I do think it could be straightened. Check with a local car dealer, as they do a lot of wheel repairs for their used cars. In fact, there are actually repair guys that work out of mobile trucks, and go right to the dealer....

Would you happen to know the correct offset I need for this model?

Not sure about specific offset for 3rd gens. Have you tried searching/asking on a 3rd gen focused site such as thridgen.org?

thank you guys for the help it was much appreciated. I took it off and measured it the width is 9.5 backspace=5in and my offset is -6mm. I'm going to order the rim with these measurements and hope it all lines up. thank you

Also, after doing the research on my wheels I came across info telling me my current setup is unsafe,. I'm running these 17x9.5 on 315/35/17 nitto 555 dr should I just replace the back 2 wheels with 17x11s?
