Just wanted to show off my new rims and give some information out because everyone is always curious what rims sizes, tires, or offsets folks use ( i know I was). I had been planning on getting these rims for a while now and finally made the plunge. First off I purchased the rims from Next Level Motoring I went with XXR 555's. They are a 17x8 and 18x8.5 combo. Both rims have a +35 offset. Tires are Nankang NS-25's, 225/45r17 and 255/35r18

Most importantly my car is an 87 GT. I do have a full coilover suspension front and back. Also have Fiero Store front and rear swaybars. Additionally I am using Archie brakes on all fours with a working parking brake. I have the car ride height set to 26" on all four corners measured from mid-fender to pavement. I am using 450lb springs on the front and 300lb springs on the rear. Rides awesome!

Before with old Beretta GTZ rims


After with XXR 555's


Before Rear side to show old offset +42


After Rear offset +35


Two more shots just for good measure



Thanks for looking.

Now I know if I see a house with a black spade hanging out front, that's where you live.

Good to see how 255s look on the back, I was thinking of that width and I was concerned about the stick-out.

Haha, yes that would be my house. My last name is Spade, its fitting to have a spade on the house.

I will take a picture of the rear to give you a better view of how the 255's fit. I was thinking about that early, that was one shot I did not take.
