Got them on the new 17x10.5 replicas with no spacer. Drivers side tire touched the IRS bolt (MM low profile) jacked up but cleared by maybe 1/2" when the suspension was loaded. Clearance is good on the passenger side.

Once the weather improves I will take it out and double check everything but happy with the results so far!

mmmm that will hook all day

 

[03zincyellowsvt]

nice, are you runnin a wheel spacer and what size rims you got
edit: apparently i forgot how to read

 

[SLEEPERSTATUS]

nice let us know how you like them

 

[TermySnake]

Wish i can afford those sets right now Nice :thumbsup:

 

[SLEEPERSTATUS]

so do they hook good?

 

[69gt4speed]

Also let us know what the rain does to the car... Camaro guys say about same as the nitto dr.

 

[supercarkiller]

looks good man! keep us posted on how they do!

 

[jt239]

I have only had the car out for a few short rides...the rain has washed all the salt away but the potholes are a different story.. :nonono:
I dont drive the snake in the rain so i will probably never know how the M/t's do in wet conditions. The tread design has been updated with more grooves so my guess is that they are better than the previous version.

Not sure how they hook yet either, I am waiting for the weather here to warm up a bit. The track opens next month..:rockon: All I can tell you is that they look sweet! I love how much wider they are than my 275 BFG's.

 

[c6zhombre]

did your svt centercap fit in the new rim?

 

[pavich91]

They look great! I have a few buddy's that just put them on on they said they hook really good. An amazing difference in feeling when ripping it. I think I will go the same route because even a 40mph I punch it and break loose.:burnout:

I have the same tire on my cammed, n20 camaro. They hook like holy hell. The tire has broke a drive shaft and a 10 bolt rearend on the street with 4000 rpm launches. I had a set of nittos and they dont belong in the same sentence as the m/t.

how do these compare to the bfgs

 

[KILRSVT]

nice real nice

 

[latemodelracer2]

what is the dif between this brand 17" 10.5 wheel and the 17" AFS that everyone is waiting on?

 

[jt239]

not sure yet, I'm guessing they are going to hook better and not last as long!

did your svt centercap fit in the new rim?

stock svt centercap fits like a glove, no spinning...nice and tight. No tape used either...lol

what is the dif between this brand 17" 10.5 wheel and the 17" AFS that everyone is waiting on?

No difference that I know of. I dont understand why a bunch of people are waiting around to pay AFS $240/rim when lethal has these for much less. :bash:

Yeah the 17" prices at Lethal are definitely better than the AFS GB, but wheelreplicas.com has them both beat.

(2) 17x9 / (2) 17x10.5 chrome wheels shipped...
Wheel Replicas $673.00
Lethal $695.96.
AFS GB $945.00 $250+ for these wheels?? WTF :nonono:

Most people, including myself, are looking for 18x10.5 wheels.
To bad no one other than AFS makes the 18x10.5.

 

[latemodelracer2]

so for a 17x 10.5 there is no reason to wait for the GB. Now all i need is the money to buy the wheels and the mt dr's

No reason to wait but I would try to get the rims asap as American Muscle is out and who knows how much stock is left of these things at Lethal & WR. I certainly wasnt gonna pay that crazy high price in the AFS group buy!

looks real good!
