Sport Edition F7 17" wheels 7.5" wide 35mm offset. 225 x 45 x 17 rear and 205 x45 x 17 front Goodyear Eagle 2 tires. I chose the six spoke design for strength and appearance. Wheel studs were lengthened to meet NHRA requirements and longer lug nuts added accordingly. If you use a wheel with a thicker hub, its not a good idea to rely on the short stock studs.

I just picked up these wheels/tires form Discount Tire. Wheels are Drag 17x7.5 with 40 (I think) offset. Wheels were $115 each, but came with a $100 visa card rebate, so I paid $345 + tax, free shipping. Tires are Cooper Zeon RS3-A 225/45 R17 and so far ride fantastic (about 100 miles on them).

I wish the wheel manufacturers would get way from the open spoke look and give us some options with more metal and more conservative smaller openings in the metal. I had a great set of wheels that I purchased for my 76 Toyota Celica GT (it resembled a 65 Mustang fastback), but the metal alloy was very light. I had to get the wheels balanced regularly, or I ran the risk of wearing out the tires. Not everyone eats Rice-a-Roni, I guess. Rock on! bb

Here is my 88 Formula. 17" Mille Miglia MM11-2's on 245/45/17 rears and 215/45/17 on front. I've had these rims for 11 years and they are still flawless looking. I am kind of picky
And my old 87GT that I just sold in October.

Love the stance of the red Fiero. How did you do that, and are there any probs with clearance?
Very nice! I love HRE Wheels. I would like to get a set for mine one day.
keep an eye on craigslist and ebay,..they pop up every great once and awhile in our bolt pattern and usually a pretty good deal. i helped madcurl find a couple of sets, and i actually passed on two other hre sets before i purchased these. Those sold for less than $1 k !!

Still kicking myself for not getting those also.
Thanks. I can only hope I can find a deal like that one lol
Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm not sure if this is the right place/way to do this but I'm curious how much offset changes if I install a bigger brake kit. Im hoping corvette brakes. Thanks in advance.
PS. My Car is an 86 GT

Yeah, not really the spot, but welcome to the forum.
Depending on the year, the pre-88 would move the wheel out the thickness of the rotor flange, or about 1/4". On the 88, it remains about the same.
I found this thread very helpful when finding the right wheels for my '88 GT. I went with Enkei EDR9s. Fronts: 17x7 (45 Offset) Rears 18x7.5 (38 Offset).
These are 17 inch AT Italia S5 wheels, pretty sure they are not made anymore. If anyone knows where I can get some more please let me know, one has road rash and I wouldnt mind a different offset for the fronts, even if it was a different inch tire.
