I am about to purchase the Eagle 077's 18x8. The offset is positive (38mm) but different than the stock rims (55mm). Will this affect performance or mounting. Do these rims give better performance than the stock? I am on a budget.

They will fit fine. Before running them on my Camaro I let my buddy borrow mine for a while on his '99 T/A. The larger diameter rocks - but they are pretty narrow - so you can only safely run a 245 on them, which kind of stinks. They aren't a bad wheel though, for the price.

I have yet to put on the rims and tires. If i go ahead and buy the eibach pro kit for around $180, how much will installation cost? Thanks for the advice.

Do it yourself ;)
Um........I dont know maybe 200-300. It took me about 4 hours to do it and most shops charge 60-70 per hour.

I heard that you could kill yourself if you install them improperly. Is there a way to install the correctly, could someone point me in a direction to learn how to install Eibach pro kit springs? Thanks
