Re: vette rims
They are 18x9.5 in the rear and 17x8.5 up front. Use of them on a 95 and older 4th gen will more than likely require 1mm being shaved out of the center hub of the hole on the rear wheel because of 4th gens having an "Exploding hub".. They WILL fit though. And if you dont use a spacer and mag style lugs you WILL have to hammer in a few spots on your wheel wells. Sorry to intervein with your sale but I can answer these questions for them.
This is what they look like on my 95 Mystic Teal car.

Chrome would look pretty good on our cars though.

Chrome would look pretty good on our cars though.It took me about 45 minutes to do the first wheel and the second wheel about 20 minutes because I knew what to hammer in and how long it took to shave out the hole of the wheel. Its DEFINATELY worth it though! I went with 275-40-18s in the back. Some say its too tall because its about 1" taller than stock measurements and will "throw your speedo off" -- but its only by about 2-5%... So when it says 100mph you'll be doing ~105. Surely not enough to worry about for normal driving. Like I said, whoever buys these for their F-Body or is already installing them. Let me know if you need any tips ;P
Once again, sorry to ***** up your thread :P These wheels ROCK on 4th gens though! I bump this thread to a very lucky owner! I wish mine were polished/chrome!!
