  • Fikse FM5's on a 35th LE??

    I'm thinking about some Fikse Fm5's for my Camaro. 17x9.5F and 17.11R
    Think those would look good on my car?
    The wheels I'm thinking about are like the ones in the link below:

    I don't like how 11 inch wide wheels/315 tires mainly extend out side the shape of the body.
    I think I said it before but stick with the stock 35th wheels.

        FM5s are one of my most favorite wheels for fbodies. My vote is yes!

          I have my Chevelle as all original looking. I need one car I can play with and the Camaro is that car. It doesn't have the original rearend. The trans has been rebuilt with Viper internals, so its not 100% original, and the engine has been modified. I just want some different wheels to really set the car off.
          The thing is, every wheel that looks good, is on a Camaro or TA. Thats why you see so many cars with the same wheels. Because they look good!
          I wanted to get some OE C6 Zo6 Deep dish wheels. People said, no don't get those, everybody gets those. Well, what ever I decide to get is what I want and thats all that really matters. Right?


          By the way Brian,
          If you still need me to e-mail copies of the wiring diagram for the Electo-tip wipers, let me know.

                Yes they would look great. Are you looking at buying new or picking up a used set?

                  One Guy on another forum has a set of FM5's in 18x9 and 18x11.5's. I'm thinking they were originally for a Vette.
                  Another guy has some 17x9.5 and 17x11's. I really like the 18's just not sure if I'm ready to spend that much $.

                  Thanks Guys!

                    No way in the world I'd order a set of Fikse wheels right now. They have pissed off so many customers with their delivery times it's ridiculous. Do some reading on PT and LatG about what's up with Fikse before you order. Have you looked at Forgeline wheels Brian?

                          If I buy the Fikse wheels, they will be gently used ones. It's like a new car, let someone else pay the "bigger" dollar first. That goes for any high end wheel including Forgeline.

                            If and when I decide to get some different wheels, I will probably hold onto the original ones for now.
                            Thanks for the interest though.

                              While I do agree about 11" rear wheels sticking out a little much for my liking, how is this even a question? I'd be rocking 9.5" wide Fikse's on all 4 corners if I could afford to. Gorgeous wheels.
