87 Iroc 17" Rims
Hi,
Getting ready to buy 17" Rims for my 87 Iroc. Like the looks of the 16''x8'' on here now but want a wider rim and better tire selection. Looked at the 17" Iroc rims but they only come in 8" width. Next choice is the Z06 9 1/2" rims and wondering if possible to install these on a 3rd gen. Know will have to run spacers and wondering if anyone running them and what width spacers are needed. Would the extra rim width especially in the front be a problem Running Morrison CoilOver in the front so can adjust quite a bit for hieght. Ideas, Facts, and pics appreciated. Thanks |
don't run spacers if you plan on driving the car, there are NO dot approved ones made (meaning not one is legal for use on the road) why not check into a 16x9 aftermarket? it would be cheaper normally, and many will make a bunch of offsets to fit correctly without rednecking it together and risking your life (spacers can cause your wheel to leave your car at speed)

Rims
Hi,
I feel the same way you do about spacers, but trying to find a 16" rim that I like, either IROC or Z06 in 9 or 9 1/2" width with the correct offset not going to happen. I can't spend 1500-2000 bucks for custom rims like Coddintons ect. 17" rims give me a better tire selection. Don't like hanging a spacer on the rear with 502 HP plus nitrous. There are rims out there that would work, but if I don't like the look of them not going to get them because they work. Will keep looking and running my 16x8s until I do. Would really like to see someone make a 17x9-9 1/2" Iroc rim with the correct offset for the 3rd gens. Oasis makes a 17''x8". And when I said spacers, They are adapters that bolt to the hubs. Thanks for reply Irocing |

IROC Rims 16 or 17x 9-9 1/2"
Hi,
If you happen to think of the company that your talking about please post it. I know other 3rd gen owners I've talked to would also like to know. A 17" rim in either 9 or 9 1/2" polished or chrome with the right offset for our 3rd gens I think would be a big seller. Especially at 200 or a little more. Even a 16'' rim in the wider widths would do good. But at 16" you then have the tire selection problem to deal with. Thanks Irocing |
there is an ad in every hot rod magazine for them. I don't know what you mean about tire selection problem with 16's either, most companies make a ton of 16" tires in various sizes (goodyear for one makes somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 different 16" tires) many are special order, but can be done unless the shop your looking at doesn't want to do it (99% of online places won't help you they don't need your money bad enough)

Rims
Speaking of $$$$Goodyear.
I priced a set of them I liked, and could buy a nice set of rims for that amount. And special order usually means time and for sure money. Will check out HOT ROD magazine adds and see but like I said not going to throw money at it to make it happen. I have researched this pretty good and could not find a 17"x9-9 1/2 IROC-C5-Z06 or equivalent rim in the 3rd gen offset I'm looking for. Later Irocing |
I know there's tons more but here's a couple
