Justout of curiousity,would these fit ok??
 
Ive read that as long as the backspacing and wheel width are right, bmw wheels will fit camaros. I found these wheels on ebay, and I think the would look awesome on camaros. With an 8.5" wide wheel, is +18mm backspacing ok or no??

:eek: $2000 for replicas!! They do look good, but that is alot.


Oh yeah, I am not sure if they would fit.

They're only 1200. Besides, even though they are replicas, they are 2 piece wheels, which are more expensive than 1 pc.

Probably not...you need around 50mm of backspacing on a 4th gen car to be in the ballpark.

You need to just buy my wheels.... ;)

I know, and someone posted this pic of a formula with wheels that look exactly like those. If anyone knows where I could get these wheels in the correct spacing let me know.

I cropped the rear wheel in that pic and enlarged it...

It appears to me they are using a wheel spacer/adapter like you can get at http://www.skulte.com/adapters.html

That looks like the exact wheel you are talking about. They just used a bolt on spacer to make the backspacing correct. I did the exact same thing by using some FWD rims on a 96 GMC pickup.

Yeah, I see the spacers. What size spacers would be needed and would the be needed for the front to?

You need to email the person auctioning off the wheels and ask the for the exact backspacing, not the offset. That way the correct spacer can be put in.

If I were guessing though, I would guess a 1.5" spacer would do it. That would put you at 55mm offset. BUT, you still need to ask for the backspacing to get the exact thickness spacer you would need. And yes, you would need spacers on all four wheels.

I believe ROH makes a wheel similar to that.

They might, but you can tell they are hamann wheels. If you look at one of the spokes, you can see some text on there that hamann uses on their PG2 wheels.
