AR Rebel Questions....

First do I need to run 18' in the rear? It seems that the offset would be better with 18's....I would rather go 17's all around but will do 18's in the rear if I need....

Also what is the cheapest place to find the black ones? The cheapest place I can find is Ebay....if anyone knows a better place PLEASE let me know!!!

ALSO if anyone has these rims post some pics up and the sizes THANKS!!!!

ebay is almost always going to be the cheapest. you might want to check with tomz... he sells AR and i'm sure he can get them.

there are few people on here with them so it's tough to get info... i learned that the hard way too a while back. i do remember seeing a red z28 w/ black ones though, so keep trying.

I have the Sportlines all around and with the 17s, they rubbed dangerously! Here's some pictures. Discount Tire is the best price if you want drive up service 6 days a week if you know what I mean.

On my 2000 SS, they stuck out about 1". I got lucky and was able to returned the four with a restocking fee of 10.00 a wheel. I got solid crome valve stems and crome lugs out of it. I then shortly after bought the 18s and I'm very happy that I did. Later

no, that's the bolt pattern. i think there's a sticky at the top of the wheels section that explains offset... i'm too close to asleep to try to do it now
