Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

Isn't there some sort of a wheel thread on tgo Darren? Thats what I've always done when trying to make up my mind for new wheels on a car, just google search "third gen wheel thread" and start pouring through all the pics. You'll fall in love with something.
Thats what I am doing now, found a thread 45 pages long. So many different wheels out there... But I keep coming back to a certain two...
Hey Guys, I have not had any problems with the 18's. The car is pretty damn low as well. They are 18x8.5 all around. Front tires are (i believe) 235/40 and the rears are 275/35. No rubbing issues at full crank on the steering. Speedo isn't noticeably off either.. then again, who actually looks at that
I have stock brakes on the car as well with disks out front and drums out back. I did not need to run any spacers although I do still have that spacer set sitting in the garage with your name on them Darren!
I got the wheels from West Coast Wheel Factory in California. I get lots of compliments on them.. the iroc wheels arguably are the best OE wheel ever produced. That's why everybody put them on EVERYTHING back in the 90's. If you had irocs, you were the man lol. They are the right wheel for the car. I love it when people look at my car and don't even notice that the wheels aren't OE size. Makes me chuckle inside a bit. Understated, yet improved.
Thanks Mike thats what I needed to hear on 18's
so I might have found the last place to get 17 inch Irocs from, waiting to hear back from them.... But I cant get away from polished zr1's either, even tho I know I will have to run adapters...
I am just not sure I am going to like 18's on my car, wish I could somehow see that in person. If I found a deal on 18 inch Irocs (used) I would buy them in a heartbeat, but I am not going to spend $1200 on a new set of wheels until I am sure thats what I want
Maybe @ruckusz28 can shed some light on this. Your new wheels are 18's right? Where did you get them?

So those would fit, with no spacers, and adapters, right? Sean you would recommended that tire size for them? I assume you had the 275's on a 8 inch wheel
yes those are the same that i had... no adapters or spacers
the 275 rears were not recommended but they worked fine for me
Joel the sheet metal and everything else is different between 4th and 3rds up front. which is what makes it harder to fit a bigger tire up front but it can deff be done just have to find the right wheel and tire combo.
