Sorry for the shitty pic

puckerth

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've looked at wheels for a long time but never really been ready to pull the trigger. My car has about 16k miles on it and I don't want to replace the tires on the originals 17s, so that's why I'm finally ready.

If I went with these wheels in 19" then it looks like my top options would be either 8.5" (with rear spacer?) or 9.5" all around. For the record, I can't find the G2 springs on the LG Motorsports site anymore but if I recall they drop 1.75"-2".

Few additional questions if you guys don't mind:

Is the advantage of going with 9.5" over 8.5" (in this specific case) mostly aesthetic?
Is there going to be a significant weight difference with wheels/tires?
Will I have to roll my fenders either way?
I saw mention here of Wheel Studio as a place to buy these...is there a different place (i.e. sponsor, better reputation, etc.) I should be looking?

Thanks!

The 9.5s have a deeper lip and look better from behind with the wider tires. I purchased mine used for less than most people pay for one tire so I made the best of my 8.5s...

Sounds like you got a good deal - I'd compromise too if I found a deal like that.

I think I will still go with 18x9 all around,what size tires u guys recommend I go with?I was thinking some 275-35 nittos or some 275-40s all around.Car is still on stock height but i do plan on lowering it in the future.Also the bolt pattern on the site has it listed as 5x120.7,will I need to get hub centric rings or would it be fine without them?

I will strongly suggest reconsidering....you will regret going with 18. The best these wheels look in a f-body is 19x9.5.

Here is how a Camaro would look with those:



Its a photoshop but the car I said before, Nineball's red SS looks almost exactly like that one.

Well the 18x9's I ordered will be in this Friday according to fedex,I may go with 19x9.5 for the rear though.I will admit the 19's with the bigger lip do give the rim a better look.I do prefer 18's on these f-bods but thats just a personal preference,Either way I'll be happy with these wheels and it will make my car look 10x better.Hopefully by next year I will be done with the appearance on my car,still gotta get it repainted and get a sunoco hood.
