hello,

I know guys you have talked alot about this, but this time I'm gonna spend some bucks .

I want to know what is the optimum back space and offset for those wheels to fit my F-body without any issues, not to mention that I have C5 brakes in the front, I hope the 17" will fit without any problems.

Thanks in advance.

B/S has specific wheel fitments for the F-Bodies, so your best bet would be to work with someone who sells them and is familiar with F-Body offerings. As far as the C5 brakes work, you need to measure the size of the caliper compared to an F-Body caliper and then have your dealer figure out if they will fit.

Thanks John for the input, I send an email for B/S, and the said the right specs are :

17” street lite wheels for a 2001 f-body camaro

Front 17x9.5 7” Backspace 5x4.75 Bolt Circle

Rear 17x11 8.5” Backspace %x4.75 Bolt Circle
they didn't tell me the right offset.

now I'm confused because I read many threads here and some guys said the right backspace for the rear is 4.5", I don't want the rear wheel going out of the fender.
any other specs guys ??
what about the offset ??

Your dealer can handle that.

4.5"? Wtf? I would not recommend that backspacing, they'd be sitting several inches beyond the fender.

OP, start from the beginning.

the correct back spacing I have heard for and F body is 17x11 in the rear with 7.75 backspacing. and the front 17x7 takes a 4.5 backspacing

I'm curious about this too, I remember hearing a couple times that they won't clear the C5 caliper. Update this thread please when you find out, I will be ordering a set when I know for sure they will fit.
