On the fence. Staggered and wide .... or square and wider than stock?

There is a Hopster wheel that is 46mm offset. That should fit better than that 37mm.

Here are some pictures that might help....I run 17x9.5 wheels with+56mm offset all around. On the front I run 10mm spacers so essentially the front offset is +46mm. On the rear I run 15mm spacers so that would put the rear at +41 mm

This is a very useful comparison, great post and illustrations. It seems that the Pontiacs can indeed take a more aggressive offset in the front based on your pictures; with a +46mm on my Camaro the tire was literally as far out as it could be without going past the fender lip. Looks like you have a bit more room to work with on the Pontiacs.

Here is another picture of mine from a forward angle with the 17x9.5" +46mm with 275mm tire front. As you can see, there is zero tire tuck with this setup on a Camaro:

Forgot to mention im also on 275's and run 1.2 degrees of camber and will be switching to 15mm spacers in the front.

With that said it does still look like the T/A's have a more ballooned front fender.

Thanks for the pictures. Clearly the TAs have more room than the Camaros. With that said, it seems that the 37mm should bring the rim out almost flush with the 17x9.5 / 275.
