Not enough lip in the rear for my tastes. Hard to beat FM5's on a LS1 Camaro though...

not to sure about the off-set but there 17x9.5 & 18x12 & tread is 255/40/17 & 335/30/18

and the hood is a 3inch cowl hood that i got from ebay, fits really good.

As always FM5's are some sweet looking rims BUT man you need the right offset, those stick out way too far in the rear.
Plus that style of rim always look better with a deeper lip in the rear.
Im sure you got a good enough deal on them that it was something to look past.

Looks horiible!!! You need to get rid of them quickly before everybody starts making fun of you. So, I'm willing to help you keep your dignity and...... just sell them to me real cheap.
But in all seriousness, I think you just need to lower your car and it'd be perfect with those wheels.
