The ones I bought off ebay have 17x9's for the front. Will a 25mm offset fit on the front of my car?

LOL no no no 25mm offset will NOT WORK
i think the SMALLEST offset for T/A's is around 35mm, but 36-37ish to be safe.

Hmm, well also a guy on here has them and he says they rub just a tad but nothing to be worried about.

My father put them on his NBM Ws6. The 17s stick out in the front a little more than most but it doesnt look too bad. They are beautiful wheels though. He got them real cheap to off of EBAY. Something like 800.00(brand new) for all 4 and thats with 18's in back and 17s up front.

Yea the guy I bought them from had a set on his T/A and they really didnt look bad at all. They dont stick out on the front from what I can see on 4 different angles.

I still might see if this guy will ship me the 18x10's for the front also. I see he has a few sets still for sale.

Here are the 9's on the front of a Trans Am. They dont seem to stick out that much.

Yeah they "look" like they are ok, but when you go over a bump, the tire is going to smack on the fenderwall, right where you fender lip is, and you going to have a messed up tire/rim. trust me man, ask any f-body person.... also thoes pictures dont do crap, you need better angles.... also pictures are decieving.

im not 99% sure a 25mm offset wont work, im 100%.

The pic of the trans am above are exactly how my dads look. They may hit the fender if you are lowered. My dad is at stock ride height and doesnt have any issues.
