Now that is what I wanted to see... some OEM BMW Wheels on an FBody. That is really cool.
I had purchased some E39 M5 wheels from a Camaro owner who had planned to use them. I ended up selling the rims and taking the tires off, but it would have been nice to see how they would have looked on a Camaro.

So I am planning to put a set of concave BMW wheels on my 99 Trans Am Convertible. I have done quite a bit of research on this but, I have not seen a lot of discussion on offsets. I need to run a 18" to use my tires which are great at this time (also are staggered widths). A set of wheels I found are 18x8.5 (+35) fronts and 18x9.5 (+38) rears. I was wondering if these would fit up without issues. All I had heard was to install the hub centric rings to ensure proper centering of the wheel. I have my Brembos for the front but need new wheels to run them. Thanks guys!

Those should be good. I run 28s that don't stick past the fender, and the Vette options are 48 or 50, can't remember. You're right in the sweet spot.

Thank you for the response and the reassurance! I will be ordering them in June....when I get them on, I will post up some pictures. Been doing a lot of TLC work to it (it was a little neglected.)

The Miros look soooo good. The first time I saw them on a black Trans Am, I knew there was no other wheel choice for me. Now I just need a black TA to put them on...

They're Miro 111s 18x9.5" with a 40mm offset with Bridgestone Potenza RE760 275/35/18.
Car is lowered with G2 front springs and the rear are stock with the hose mod.

Thanks! I'm really happy with it. I was thinking of dropping it more next year with RideTech coilovers when the funds become available.

Also, where did you purchase them from? I'm nervous that when I finally come across the right car, I wont be able to find them anymore

I actually didn't have to use eccentric rings. I thought I would, but there's absolutely no vibration at over 100mph. These guys constantly have them buy three get one free and are constantly in and out of stock.

DOSS FF1's, 19x9.5 35mm offset, just over 20lbs bare.
Still need to let the springs settled and an alignment. On strano springs and konis on the lowest setting up front. Waiting for those umi coilovers
