Those look good! Have you considered painting the insert? The little area that goes from the lug nut up? I think they would look great painted black to match the car! Maybe even a minute red pinstripe around the edge of the insert to match the badges on the car!
Are your front lips rolled at all? I don't even know if thats possible but thye look like they have somewhat of an edge to them, like they've been pushed out just a tad. Like they've been rolled.

Im pretty sure you just use a heat gun on the inside of the edge, and then roll them like normal. You just have to be careful to nlyheat it, just enough so that it will bend easily and then re-set in the new spot. I'll try it i think on my old v-6 bird thats just laying around. I need to find a rolling machine now for rent i guess

rims are 17x11 with 7.75 BS. I cut the rear bump stops and mounts about 7 years ago, but if i remember correct it was about 1". I cut up to the two bolts that hold the bump stop. In fact I shaved right up to the bolt head. This was to fit 17x11 ZR1 knock offs with Grand Sport back space or 50mm offset. This is about the same as 8" backspace. 7.75 BS wont require as much shaving. In fact, a TA has wider rear fenders than a camaro, so 7.75 should work great with the minimum amount of work. You'll need an adjustable PHB though.

theres a guy on here that has inserts for the rims that makes them look better IMHO. it mmakes the spokes look seperated.

By the way, I found that it's near-pointless to try and rotate the tires F/R even with my 275's after I got the camber maxed (to a whopping 1.5°).. They just wear so much differently between the 0° rear and the front that the contact patch is all FUBAR'd for many miles after the rotation.. Course, that was when I was actually waiting 5k to rotate them.
Daily driving 555R2's.. nuts, man..
