Default Need some wheel help.

Hey guys, thanks for dropping by!

Im looking for a 5 star deep dish wheel (also a fan of a deep dish spider web) in 17's or 18's that I can run staggered with 315s out back. I see alot of wheels but either they are not wide enough or they want $600+ a wheel. I'm a bit on a budget. Help a brother out! Thanks guys!

Ruff comes to mine, limited on sizes. As for the 315 . . . I question how long that tire size will be around for . . . not too many people make them any more . . .

Even 305s would be fine. Its just hard to find a wheels that is 10.5-11 inches wide without spending 3k for wheels and tires.

I love american racing rebel wheels. Get them in black with the chrome lip and your car would look mean. I think the biggest width they make for that rim is 10 but 305's should fit those no problem.

Yeah, they look good. Just keeping my options open.

The more the better.


On a side note, before I go with a massive rear tire that weighs me down, do you guys recommend I stay smaller for performance? After all a 275 drag radial will do better then a 315 street tire...

I think that GM made them available over the parts counter. My car is a '96, and that year, the additional air dams/rocker extensions were available from the factory on the V-6 cars as the "Rally Sport" trim package.

I resolved the issue on another thread. Apparently there was a sports appearance package "SAP" for the Z28. I checked the door jam and it was listed.
