Finally got the wheels on. Went with the iroc's 18x8.5 after looking for a long time. I still need to work on the stance some more but I think it looks pretty good for now. No spacers or adapters and I have eibach pro-kit. Tires are BFG sport comp 2 as 255/45/18. I wanted as much sidewall as would fit. I did have persuade the fronts to fit. A BFH for my BFG.
One with the factory wheels.

That's true. It's a weekend car so I decided to go with it. I'll just have to be careful when out cruising to slow down a smidge.

Where I got them just has the machined face. I was worried about a place I never heard of but the wheels came quick and in perfect condition. They were $525 for the set with free shipping. I added the chrome valve stems and lug nuts.

I was happy not to have to use huge spacers or adapters. The 255's sit perfectly flush. I still need an alignment but I also put all new steering components in except the gear box. I still have slop and I hate that.

Those do look great.
I've been looking at them on ebay and debating on getting a set....
I should photoshop yours onto my car and see how it looks.

Did those tires fit without any rubbing? What did the tires run you? I'm looking for a set of tires for some 18 X 8.5 wheels I just purchased. Thanks

Nice car and great looking wheels. I want some myself but can't do it for the simple fact that they're on about every other car in my area. Mustangs, challengers, crown vics...everything but a camaro. Why couldn't they just leave the irocs alone..
