Bogart rt 17" on the Formula
The wheels are hot, the car looks good but may I offer some constructive criticism? The tires on the front could be a little bigger and the rear wheels need to be pulled in under the car some more. This is only my opinion, it's not meant to offend.

They are 315's bfg drag radials they are as far in as they will go without rubbing. I can barely fit a finger around the tight spots you guys are just use to seeing them on a TA, they have ground effects that kick out on the bottoms covering up more tire. Trust me with out mini tubing and shortening the axel it won't go in any further.

Dude, that rear offset is way wrong. You can definitely tuck a 315 under a Formula. Hell, you can tuck them under Camaros and they have even less body to hide behind. It will look better lowered, but that offset looks kinda ghetto.
Nice wheels though!

Ah...! Those are the wheels I wanted for my SS, except the ones I got were going to tuck under. Are you sure they sent you the right wheels? I know they do custom offsets and all, they may have sent you someone else's wheels. That definitely isn't right. But man, once you get those things to tuck, you're going to have one sweet *** ride. When I get my next F-body, these wheels will be going on it.

You guys are making me nervous so I went out and took three different angle shots.
It is just like I said they are tucked in as far as they will go. I think it is just the angle of the original pics I posted.

I guess it was just the angle of the original pictures. That doesn't look bad at all. It does look like they should come in about a quarter inch though. Might have to roll the fenders. Now get the ***-end DOWN!
Just curious, how's the caliper clearance with these? The front looks to be very close. If you went with a wider wheel up front, would it change the clearance at all?
Also, not sure if you've got much driving time with them yet, but how's the handling with the narrow wheel?

Clearance is fine. I drove about fifteen miles then launched a few times and broke the ring gear and the spider gear in the 12bolt so it is down right now.

The reason I ask is I plan on doing the same setup on my next ride, but may upgrade to a big brake kit. Think there'd be any room in there to stuff something like that in there?
Sorry for all the questions
I just love the look of these wheels.
