18x8.5/18x9.5 staggered.

These wheels are probably the best looking wheel available for f-bodies under $2000 IMO. However, 20" is just too big if you ask me.

Also, the style has been discontinued. I haven't checked to see if they have a new replacement style for them, but it's going to be damn hard to find 278's at this point because production ceased in August.

If anybody is looking for them and can't find them at all, PM me...I MIGHT be able to get a set for you. I know where I can get some leftover sets...I just dunno what colors and sizes I can get.

yeh 18 was too close to stock and look too small to me, i think 19" if a good compromise. sportlines are way low for me, looks awsome, but i would scrape everywhere! and pulling in my drive way would be an adventure thats why i went with the pro kit.

I like them on T/A's and such, because they are "pretty" cars.

I like something more to the point on a Z28, because they are "tough" cars.

T/A = Ruff 278

Z28 = Ruff 280
