New Foose Speed wheels on IOM

[ROKINSS]

Luis,

Great choice, and you're welcome for the recommendation. Your car looks great. As I said before on this form they are very nice, quality wheel at a good price. When I posted my photos most of the focus from members seemed to be on 22's. You seem to have stirred their interest. I think the 20's with the drop look perfect, and the side wall does give you more rim protection. With your drop does your factory chin splitter hit the parking space blocks, or does it just hit the warning piece that hangs down under the chin splitter?

those look much better than I expected. Sets the IOM of nice!

Nitto recommends a wheel width of 11.0 inches for this 315/35-20 tire. Minimum width recommended is 10.5, maximum recommended with is 12.5.

Thanks for the info. Well, I guess that sort of shows me age. remember 10" cragers with reverse offset and 275/60's on the back. Those were the days.
We didn't worry about handling back then.

Still looks good though on this camaro ,but op better listen to Tony and get either a tire to fit the rim properly or a rim to fit the tire. wouldn't want to smash up your new ride.

no the chin spoiler doesnt hit but you cant park into a parking spot all the way up, you need to park a little before the bump. the olny issue with the drop springs is that on some bumps my longtube headers rub some on the speedbump, I usually take it slow and at an angle

Tony, you are right on the recommendation of tire size, however poeple i have talked to said nitto's run a little smaller so it wasnt so bad and also I would have gone with a 305 but the price of one 305 was almost the same as two 315's.

i dont drag race or road race and my commute to work is only 7 miles on local roads, so i am not too concered.

anyways hopefully when they wear down they will offer cheaper 305's that fit.
I will probbalyu go with these wheels for a year or so and when I am ready for new tires i will probably get new wheels, I usually get bored with wheels after 1.5 years and change them out.

Nice pick!

Nice looking wheels.

Is it just me or is the "SS" on the rear of your car upside down? Was that intentional?

Awesome. Best looking wheels I've seen on an IOM. Goes perfectly with the color.
