86 blue IROC 17" Billet Specialities street lites with pics

Bought the Camaro a few months ago and decided to go with these wheels. 17X8 black street lites and 17X9.5 in the back with 275" rear tires. Really set the car off.

Re: 86 blue IROC 17" Billet Specialities street lites with pics

I'm not a fan of irocs without iroc wheels, but those look like they belong on your car...quite nice. I really like the simplicity of the wheel, not too busy or so oversized it takes away from the car itself. How much is your car dropped, the stance looks great.

Re: 86 blue IROC 17" Billet Specialities street lites with pics

Thanks!! No spacers and tires/wheels are about 42 lbs which was same weight as my 16" wheel/tire combo. Most of the weight is tires as wheels were I'm guessing maybe 15 lbs. I've heated the springs just temporary until I get my 2" Intrax springs on.

About $1375 for wheels and shank lug nuts. Maybe a little less. Bought from Summit so free shipping.

SICK!!
i was just thinking bout using these in the rea and c5 wagon wheeld in front.
do u think u can fit anything over 275 in rear? i really need a 315. perhaps a 1in spacer may help. how much room between wheel and body?

Thanks everyone. Sorry about the rear shot. I'll do that this week if it quits raining. I think 315 would clear as long as you cut bump stops and use a hammer. Try to measure distance for you as we'll.

Wow those wheels fit the car perfectly. I prefer the black to all polished. What size tires are you running on the front and back?

Thanks for the comments!! 275" rear tire and a 245" front tire I think. Have to double check that.

In those pics my springs are just heated. Felt just like you and the heated approach is quickest to get low. Intrax springs on now.

Re: 86 blue IROC 17" Billet Specialities street lites with pics

Sweet!! Never get tired at looking at blue third gens. Love that color!! Yeah just heated up my stock springs to lower it. They compress quick once hot enough so do a little and have someone watching. As soon as it starts dropping stop heating. Good enough until I could get some springs. Ride isn't all that bad either.

Thanks! 245/45 and 275/40 rears. Think a buddy of mine might be buying them and I would get black Weld RTS 15" rear wheels and a 17x4" front. Saw a similar setup on here and it looked sweet. What's everyone think about that? I love the street lights and only selling because he is needing some wheels and asked to buy mine. Think either setup would look great

The Weld setup sounds good but those Street Lites just look like they were meant for that car. I'm hoping to get a set for mine soon

The Street Lites are possibly the best looking (IMO) aftermarket wheels for the 3rd gen Camaro. They look right and are somewhat similar to the OEM 5 spoke from earlier models. Going to a 17" really does open up the selection of tires too.
You mention getting the Intrax springs installed. Do you have any measurements from the fender lips to the ground? I run the Intrax as well and I'm looking for comparisons.

Car is on jackstands right now. I need to install front springs then get my tires back. I'll measure for you after that. Before my passenger side was lower then driver both front and back. I'm hoping a spring up front is not in the pocket right.

Well here's the new setup. 17x4.5" front and 15x9.25" rear on 275/50 MT drag radial. Looks meaner. Just need more hp to back it up now.
