I have been looking for American Racing Torq Thrust II's in 18x9 and 18x10, but it seems like all retailers are not suggesting them for the 93-02 F-body, however they keep suggesting 17" versions.

Anyone have a set of 18x9 / 18x10s on their car and can comment on the fitment and provide pics? What backspacing are you going with?

Wheelsforless has the following but do not list them for the 93-02 f-body:
Torq Thrust II 18x9 5x4.75 5.0" Backspace
Torq Thrust II 18x10 5x4.75 5.75" Backspace

Wheelsforless has the following but do not list them for the 93-02 f-body:

Torq Thrust II 18x10 5x4.75 5.75" Backspace

Both of those will stick out too far!

With the 18 x 9's you want at least a +35mm offset, or about a 6.375" B.S., and with the 18 x 10's at least a +40mm offset, or about a 7" B.S..

Thanks. It looks like American Racing doesn't make an 18" version of the Torq Thrust II with proper backspacing for our cars...

They do. One of my friends on IG runs them in 18x9 and 18x10.

i have american racing rebels in 18x9 (+25/6") and 18x10(+41/7-1/8") ran 275/35 and 295/35 tires.

they were a perfect fit. even with my slamed sportline springs.

In that case, will Torq Thrust M (not II) wheels in size: 18x9, bolt pattern: 5x120mm, and offset: +34mm (part#: AR105M8912A) fit a 1999 Pontiac Firebird? I know you said at least +35mm, but is 34mm close enough?

And is the bolt pattern, 5x120mm, close enough to the 5x120.65mm bolt pattern specified in the Wheels & Tires FAQ?

Anyone have pictures of how this offset on these wheels look on an F-body?

Thank you for your help!
