Question 16" Torque Thrusts?

Anyone have 16" torque thrust IIs? I have a chance to snag some for dirt cheap and just wondering if they are worth getting. They're mint with new tires...$200

came off S-10 show truck, just wondering about backspacing and lug pattern, and if they look ok on a camaro being a 16" instead of bigger....

Anyone have a pic of them on a newer camaro/ta...

16x8" TT2's not sure the offset though. I just brought the car to a shop and told them what I wanted and they put these on for me.

The biggest problem with 16 inch rims is the selection of performance tires is fairly limited. If that is not a concern to you then I say jump on the killer deal.

stock ride height (well im sure it's sagging for a 14 year old B4C on stock springs) and I have no idea on backspacing, like I said before I brought it to a shop told them I wanted 16x8" Torq Thrust II's to fit a 94 Camaro and they gave me those, sorry.

Alright, finally got to go look at them. Turns out they are 17x8 Cragars.

The pattern is what he called 5 on 5... Said they came off an 86 c10...

I'm gonna try to go back this weekend and see if they'll fit, I had nothing to measure with when i stopped by, hopefully they're 5x4.75

Seems like I saw where Tomz-wheels said these wouldn't work on our late model Camaro's because of the off-set .
Obviously he was wrong.

Sorry I can't, I sold the car 2 years ago to a friend, he is B4CZR2 on here, might PM him to ask for pics, although the car is put away for the winter and the rims are probably dirty. He has some pics on his cardomain too here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2463365

Partly true, I had to take a heat gun to the front edge of each front wheelwell when the 245 GSC's were on the front because the tires rubbed while making turns; about 15 minutes later they didn't rub but I got some skinnier tires up front just so the tires didn't bulge past the fenders.
