Default New Wheels!

I am thinking about getting these for my 01 Firebird Formula.

http://www.nfcperformance.com/msport...1_563_569.html

The stats are

SPECIFICATIONS:

Model: ADR M-SPORT


Size: 19x8.5


Bolt Pattern: 5x120

Offset: +35


Color: Hyper Black W/Polished Lip

Quantity: A Set Of 4

Condition: New


I know the bolt pattern is right but the offset falls lower then what this page says is required. https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...must-read.html

Will these fit alright on a stock ride with say 265s? or 275s?

Thanks

Talk to KyleLS1, he has them and they look incredible. I was going to get them in black but decided they wouldn't look right for whatever reason.

If you're going to buy them, check on ebay you can find them for a steal normally. Also, check out the wheelmaker Stern, they offer a rim which is nearly identical to those and not as expensive (its model name is ST7).

eBay ADR MSports...

I can PM you a link to the Stern ST7s if you want, just let me know.

Don't forget the hubcentric rings to center them up. There is a lot of debate as to whether the bolt pattern is safe but a lot of people run them.

Yeah thats where I am with it. I've seen several people already run them so they have to be safe to a degree. I shot Kylels1 a PM asking him about his setup.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that the 9.5" wheels wth the 35mm offset will be on the ragged edge of sticking out of the wheel well in front.
Heres a pic of my 18x8.5's with 35mm offset to show you how close it could be.



Consider that the wheels you want will be sticking out another 1/2" and you may have issues when the wheels are in full jounce.
