i like the deep dish look...would these fit a 99 stock trans am???

 

actually....would eibach sportlines enable me to ride on these wheels???

 

good looking wheel
i'd suggest the prokit though...

 

yeah thats what peoples been sayin...a pro kit rather than the sportline...thanks

 

i had looked at thoes wheels but decided to go with the better fitting 5x120.65'' bolt pattern rather than the 5x120 which is off.

 

did u email them and ask for that bolt pattern??? so im assuming u have these wheels? if so how do they look? shoot me some pics if u can...

 

I run the adr sterling with 5x120mm bolt pattern no problems. Its better to run them with hubcentric rings but I didn't for over a year.

 

That is a nice looking car. What size wheel is it?

 

Bad advertising by that E-Bayer . . . incorrect bolt pattern . . . Yes you can make them fit, but the lug studs will have some abnormal stresses on them.

 

Good looking wheels. If you get them post pics.

 

There is a post called "black on black" that has adr wheels close to those on a black T/A.

 

damn that wheels doesnt look too bad...i would do the prokit also.....

 

they cam 18x8.5, but I just got the rear back from being widened to 10.5 pics soon to come

 

"abnormal stresses" would you advise against this. that doesnt sound too good "abnormal stresses"...if the bolt pattern is off then i probably will not pick these up...besides there are specials running from tomzwheels that i cannot pass up...haha

 

Since the bolt pattern is "off" the lugs studs would be "bent" into place by tightening the lugnut. Something may never occur, but I heard of studs breaking and wheels falling off . . .

I'd never run incorrect bolt pattern wheels on my car. Nor would I ever run a wheel w/o the correct hub ring.

 

I would imagine that that .75 or whatever mm would be easily fixable by a dremel, am I correct?

 

I dunno, I'm not going to take "guesses" on if my wheels fit correctly or not . .

You are only talking about roughly a .5 mm over a distance of 4.75". If you take into consideration that the center of each lug stud will only be about .25mm off center not to mention using acorn style (tappered) lug nuts, I see no problem with it. You won't be breaking any studs. Your rear end will go way before your studs will. I personally have these wheels and they fit like a glove. Slide right on like they were made for the car. If you didn't know that they had a different lug pattern and put one on you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Just to clarify my level of expertise in this area I have been an auto technician for 20 years. I used to work with Dennis Lugo of Lugo Performance in Central Florida. I also used to set up the suspension,align and true tires for several guys who ran SCCA autocross out at Matrin Marieta in Orlando and have dealt with my share of wheels, lug studs, axles you name it.

 

That summed it up good. And they do look great. What about the offset though?
