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!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!

Well I couldn't wait. Had to see how they look. TSW nurburgrings 17x8 35mm offset and 17x9 50mm offset. Useing 1.5" adapters in front and 2" rear. useing the tires off my other 17's, 245/45 and 255/50.
I would move to a 1.5 spacer in the back if it were me, 1. 2 inches is a huge space. and 2. id like to see the wheels tucked under the car a little better. But thats just me.

Looks good!
1.5 adapters wont clear my longer rear studs, and I don't want to cut them. The edge of the tread is just inside the fender lip. It wont rub unless the car comes straight down hard. I have stiffer progressive rate springs.

The rear tire seems a bit too tall. Other than that, I think it should look good!
My speedo is very close with this size tire and 373 gears. Rear tire is about 1 and 3/8" taller than the front. I thought about going with 275/40 in the rear but they are slightly shorter than 245/45.
It's hard to get the speedos right these days with T5's. I had to make my own gear so I could run 3.42's and a stock sized tire. 275/40's are only a quarter of an inch smaller that what is up front, 275/45 wouldn't be as tall as what you have now, and a 255/45 would be right at home But that's just me. I'm very picky when it comes to rims/tires
Alot of people have told me my rears were too tall for the look I am going for. So I decided to switch to 275/40. I guess it does look better. Still not painted, hopefully soon.
