I have 'em in stock

17X9 chromed aluminum one piece wheel and 18x9's too. These are a +.36 offset for F-Body's that have been lowered. These are the same wheel as on my Phase II 2002 ZL1 Supercar.



Here are some of the Camaros I have put them on:


A friend of mine's 1999 Camaro SS convertible that we lowered and put 17X9 wheels on.


A friend of mine's 2000 Camaro SS coupe that we lowered and put 17X9 wheels on.


A friend of mine's 1999 Z/28 T-Top that we lowered and put 18X9 wheels on.



A friend of mine's 2002 Camaro Coupe that we put 18X9 wheels on (he decided not to lower his Camaro).

I was wondering the same thing... I was hoping for a lip at least in the back and a 17x10 option that way i could keep my 315s in the back but I guess thats not a option...

Also, I was trying to find some pics of the rims and I came across this link and it made me wonder what kinda rim are they posting?? It says post pics of Cragar SS wheels and I dont know what kind they are posting... IF they look like that, then noooo im not putting that on my car http://www.ls2.com/forums/showthread...hreadid=294752

I do not have them available to me in 17X11, only 17X9.

Matt Murphy of GMMG, Inc. (producers of the ZL1 Supercar, Hot Rod Magazine Camaro, Berger SS, etc.) and I had these specially made for us earlier this year in a +.36 offset for lowered cars. I tried several places all over the country earlier this year to find these wheels. I could find the Cragar SS wheels, but in the wrong offset. So, Matt & I contacted the manufacturer and had these made for us.

Here the a picture of the backside of the wheel.

I could put together a wheel tire package but quite honestly, you would be better off buying the tires where you live and having that shop mount the tires on the wheels for you. If I sell you wheels, I would rather ship them in the box with the packing so that they don't get damaged in transit. Also, if you purchase tires locally from a shop where you live, they will probably mount the tires on the rims for you "at no charge" whereas if you purchase the wheels from me and the tires from Tire Rack or Discount Tire, a shop locally where you live will probably charge you to mount the tires on the rims too.

My homepage has no pricing. It is a club website for the Mid-Iowa Camaro Club of which I am a member and the website co-administrator.

I looked at the pic that I think you are referring to in the LS2 forums on the black WS6. No, those are not the rims I have. The rims I have are the ones posted in all the pictures above. That is why I posted plenty of pics so there would be no confusion.

Default 2000 Camaro Coupe

So where is a good place to purchase Cragars to fit a 2000 Camaro Coupe?

I specify Coupe as I am not sure it will accept the same as a Z28 or SS.

I have a question on the Cragar series 612P wheels. Will the 17x9 Cragar SS wheel accept the stock 275/40ZR17 tire? They look great....old school. Are those cars lowered 1.5 inches? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me with the correct back spacing, bolt pattern and any offset that is required to put the 17 inch aluminum Cragar SS wheels on a 2000 Camaro SS. I plan to run the 17 inch wheels front and back with 275/40ZR 17 tires. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Check wheels for rust, they may be a tad old.

Here's mine. You can see the difference between the 17x9 and the 17x10.5. A 2-3 inch lip. These are the AR605 Torq-ThurstM.

Wrong wheels posted above in #14. Those are AR TTM, not the Cragar S/S from earlier in this thread.

FWIW, this thread was originally posted well over 10 years ago. I don't think Cragar is still making these with a 4th gen specific backspacing (~7") in a 17x9", at least not off-the-shelf. Perhaps they never did, they may have always been a special order in 4th gen F-body backspace/offset.

Actually I think the Cragars looked a bit better than TTMs, but both are nice and obviously very similar.
