F-Body 17x9 rims.

Perfect for 275/40/17 MT ET Streets

PS
I paid $100 for 2. I see them for sale at LS1Tech.com all the time, EBAY also. The guy I bought them from got them from Craigslist.

.....I think I am going with GTO 17X8 rear wheels with Nitto 275/40 DRs .......

what are your thoughts on those?

I think with a mid 12 sec G8, high 11s on nitrous they should be fine??????

Anybody use these. I have burned up about 5 sets, but not on an auto G8? yet?

I ran 11.3s in my 94 Cobra....way back when with a 5 speed on these Nittos.

I don't want to spend a bunch of cabbage on this, when it's my wife's and I will prolly
only race it 5-6 times this year...... ?

It should look ok, and hook ok, don't you think?

I value your honest opinions... thanks guys!

If you put nitrous on it you'll need all the rubber you can get. It'll look fine, I would just want more rubber.
