17x8 i think, but u got ALOT of room out back for a wider wheel. the norm i have seen for our cars is like 9" fornt 10" rear.

 

[mygreengt]

yea its 17x8

 

[Ferocious]

alright thanks guys!

my tires are 235/40/17.
if i buy rims that are 17x9 will my tires fit? or will i have to get wider ones?

 

[slim101]

they will fit but i would run a little bit wider tire. mayber a 255 or a 265. hell maybe a 275 if u want somthing a little more aggersive

trust me, id love to have a wider set than i have now in the front.
problem is i wont have the money to get new rims and get 4 new tires.
so im just going to get new rims & wider tired out back.

I have had them since may with no problems. They really made a difference in my cars appearance (I had stock GT shit). I have told a couple of friends about them and they are happy as well. They are on Ebay as well and take paypal. I am close to them so I paid cash and did the local p/u thing so I got a good price. I will post some pics soon

you mean on the stock rim?
if so, then yes. a 275 will fit on a stock rim.
but i recommend not going any wider.

235/40 is too short for our cars anyways, if you're going to get new wheels you might as well get the proper size tires.

Imitation Bullitts but I like em!

the only problem with oewheels is the charge a hell of a lot for shipping.
the total comes out to $50 more than getting wheels off american muscle, and they can also mount&balance them for me.

 

[framda]

OE mounts and balances for free. I picked them up and paid cash so they were like $770 with the lug nuts and 4 locking ones. Where do you live?

Never mind, I just saw you are in San Diego. Check Fleabay and do a search with nearest first as the priority.
