Oh, also beware of the offsets, our cars arent rly meant to go lower than a 34mm offset.
You also might wanna get a hubcentric ring since the bolt pattern on these are meant to fit a BMW (5x120mm) and the f bodys are 5x120.7

Thats where I got mine as well. That is a link to the ones I ordered. Didn't post before because they are not a sponsor here as far as I know. But as this is a wheel thats outside F-Body specifics you would see come to this site there it is.

Get the 5x120 +40 and you will be fine. The 5x120 bolt pattern works just fine on 4th gens.

You will need a hub centric rings with an inside diameter of 70.3 and an outside diameter of 72.6. This allows the wheel to sit on the hub of the axle which will hold all the weight instead of just on the lug studs them selves. With out them the studs can break and you will also get a vibration due to the wheel not staying centered. Times that by 4 uncentered wheels and its not fun.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone!

A local shop that does nothing but wheels and tires. There is a site that I will be ordering a set of spacers for the rear from. The only reason I need the spacers is that the center cap on the rear wheels is being pushed out of the wheel by the hub on the axle. I asked Qcon if he was having this problem and he is not. No other fitment problems at all with these wheels.

Thanks man, i was looking up spacers amd found this

http://www.motorsport-tech.com/4DCGI...makemodel.html

Should i pick the Hub Centric to Vehicle and Wheel Centric to Wheel Spacer? It seems like it has a hub centric ring already on it.. Or will it not fit the MiRo rims?

Hub centric to vehicle AND wheel yes. They will fit the vehicle hub and be machined to fit the wheel bore. Its a spacer and hub ring in one.

I'm glad I finally found wheels I like.

Thanks! Thank you for finding them! I have been wanting to get wheels for a while but could never decide.

I need to take some more pictures to show off the machined face better.
