They're black, come in 17" dia. You can get them in 5x4.75 or 5x4.5 bolt patterns (in case a person happen to have/get a 8.8 exploder rear) have a 4.50" back spacing, are 8" wide, aluminum and are about $113 each.

Guys have any opinions? Is the back spacing good? What if a person had a 8.8 rear end which pushes each rear wheel .75" out? Would the back spacing still be good on our 2nd gen 2wd's? Honest straight froward opinions encouraged! ;)

Here's a link to them at Summit, http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=BRW%2D909B780545&FROM=MG

I like'em,good price too.If it moves each wheel out 3/4" more that gives you room for a little more tire don't it?

I guess. I suck at tires/wheels size and what will/won't fit.

I figured the 4x4 loving guys would like them. I think they would look real good on a lifted 4x4 with some aggresive treaded mud tires. :D

The biggest dislike I have about them is they don't come wider than 8". Well unless you buy 15"'s.

Haha they do! I'd love them on a lifted truck though... especially the second set with just the black center.

Im using this pic because I like it...

These wheels here are 15x8... the BS is 4.5" The tires are 31x11.50R15 Interco LTB's
So, what happens is... your wheels will stick out more. Your stock wheel has about 6" of Backspace... (at least my style does)

At the same time, you have to worry about your turning radius of having wider wheels. In my case, I also have larger tires.

A 4WD has a wider track than a 2WD. It's even wider on a ZR2. So what will sit inside the fender on mine will stick out on yours.

Thanks! :D

I dont like the all black, because I feel too many people are doing it. Not to mention you cant tell the detail until you're standing next to it.

But... to each his own. I dont think these wheels are too bad. Kinda nice.
Mine... when I chose them, I didnt want anything too crazy, I wanted something black but something to stand out a little and seperate itself from the tires... These Ion wheels from customwheel.com is what I found. I only wish there was a little more Backspacing... 4.5" was as much as they had.

Are these rims dual-bolt pattern or either-or?

Either or I assumed. I guess they could be universal, IDK. I've never seen more than the pic that summit has.
