I have a buddy with a 2004 Mach 1 he has a set of 16's rear & 17's front prostar Xp he is selling and said they would fit on my car with no mods needed. ive been looking online and everything ive read said longer studs and grinding on the brakes. i have a stock suspenion 2001 Ls1 camaro. i would test fit them but i moved about 12 hours from him and can't really do so. any info is welcomed thanks. i could upload a pic of the wheels on his car if that would help any?

I know ford has a different bolt pattern. The reason i ask is B/C his wheels have a oval shaped lug patter so u can put the wheels on and spin them a little and the lugs hold them still. I was told its so it will fit the ford and chevy pattern. has anyone seen this before. it is a factory oval pattern he didn't do it himself. again they are prostar Xp 17's in the fron and 16's for the rear.

How much does he want, and where is he located? The wheels should not have a "uni-lug" oval pattern..

Damn that looks sick! I would step down to a 45 series, but how bad does it rub and what is the backspacing on the wheels?

A little off topic but why do they make the sets with 17s in the front and 16s in the back? Why not just 16s all around?

It rubs just a little not bad and im not sure of the back spacing. and the wheels came off a mach 1 he said the 16's wouldnt clear the breaks so he had to put 17's up front. im thinking about switching them around and putting the 17's in the back they both are 9 inches wide so it should work out.
