Any Pics of 16" firebird 5-spokes on a SY-TY?

[Twins]

Well my org. fronts wheels have been re-done once before and would be to thin to do again so I am back to considering the SLP deal of 4 firebird wheels with GSC's for 550.00.

Almost to cheap to pass up, new center caps with GMC on them and I think they would look OK but I'd love to see it first.

Any pics or can anyone Photoshop them for me?

TIA.

I know its not a sy/ty.. but it does give you a general idea.

if I have time tonight after class ill do a photoshop on a sy/ty

Thanks for the quick reply......not a bad Blazer. Kinda a ZR2 type thing going on there.

I guess they don't look to bad.....might get me be for a year till I decide what I want to do for good.

I'll check back after ball tonight around 10:00.

Thanks again.

I had those wheels on my Syclone for a long time. They looked pretty good, but I got tired of them and really only got them to tide me over until I got my stockers redone. Well, that and they were only $50 ea. I'm gonna get them powdercoated black with a beauty ring and run some drag radials on them.

I should have a good many pics at the house. Will check and post when I get home.

ill do a photoshop a little later..

and thanks for not making fun of my blazer, its my daily driver and i got those huge tires for free.. the truck rode like sh*t with those 31" mud tires, and it still does, they pretty much ruined my front suspension, ive already done lower ball joints, I should do uppers and a few other choices parts..

eitherway, I got them because they were $50 and the exact same as stock back spacing.. they look alright to, and the truck is my daily driver..

eventually ill get a sy/ty and the truck will see winter only duties (If it lasts that long, I kinda beat on it)

Thanks for all the help everyone....my truck comes out of the paint booth Sat, and I was really hoping for the all stock thing but I'm not spending 500.00 on two fronts and having the rears re-done then buying tires.

I'm putting a 49 on the GN along with about 1k of other parts along with it, the fresh paint on the TY and it started to get a little thin in the bank.

I'll call SLP tomm and as soon as done I'll post some pics.

THANKS!!!!

Are those the same offset as the stock sy/ty set?

 

[BigBadSmoosh]

they are the exact same offset as my 4x4 rims if thats any help..

I was counting on spacers and new studs for the rears.

I was looking at 600+ for new kdw's for the stock wheels.....anything has to hook better than the the rock hard weather checked Falkens I had last year. I've got better '60's from the GN on shot DR's and an air bag. The front was spinning for 15-20 ' last fall.

I may turn my fronts into bar stools and stick the rears in the basement for "future use" like the 4 stock 84-5 and 4 86-7 GN wheels that are down there along with the 4 stock Impy SS wheels and the 4 stock sawblades off the Grand. If this place ever burns it'll look like an aluminum mill.

The good thing about not being a drug addict is you can justify all other addictions to yourself/and better half using that analogy. Hey honey at least it just wheels and cars and not Cocain.

dude, share the wealth!

share that collection of stock wheels with me.. my blazer could use some grandsport wheels, or impala ss wheels..

or im sure i could find away to put them onto my 71 camaro..

Firebird take off wheels: 6 3/4 backspacing, 2 3/16 positive offset, 8" width, 19.5 lbs.

Out of my SLP catalog. Someone chime in with the syty offset info...

Thanks Bill, I've been converting metric to SAE all day to find what backspacing would work. I forgot about that wheel thing on SYTYarchives until a GN friend reminded me last night.

He wants to sell me Roh Snypers 17x8's with 245-40-17 summos on the front and same size Nitto DR's out back. $1k.

DR's still have the tits.
