Who makes a 17x8" wheel for the F-body? The reason I ask is that I have a fresh set of 245/45/17 tires in my basement and I want to use them on my Formula. Because they are 245's I wouldn't want to mount them on a 9" wide wheel. Anyone make a 17x8 for the F-body?

The Eagles are pretty decent for 17x8, in a month or so I'll be getting them widened 2 inches. I'm very limited on tire width 275/40/17 is all I can go , so 2 inches is what they can widened up to for under 200 bucks not bad instead of going out an buying a new set.
Here's a couple of pics of my car with them on....................(old pics)

If you where referring to me, I run 275 all around and they are chrome. I like the look is just I wish they made them in a wider size.
