If you order a Custom set I would nearly guarantee it. Their off the shelf stuff though I'm not sure. Get in contact with them and send them a spec sheet. (they have a sheet you fill out that gives what you need for clearances)

O.Z. Alleggerita HLT Matte Graphite Silver

anyone know if those would fit??

Size: 17x8
Offset: 40mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-110
Rec. Tire Size: 225/45-17
Weight: 16.2lbs.

someone posted that every pound of unsprung weight removed is the equivalent of 11 lbs of sprung weight. If thats true, these wheels would equal a 300 lb sprung weight reduction

Stock ss/tc wheel = 23 lbs, these OZ wheels = 16 lbs
23-16=7 7x4=28 28x11=308

either way it would be approx. a 28 pound reduction in unsprung weight, depending on tire choice....

Looking to get TC rims back on my turbo balt, i'm currently rocking the Enkei AKP Black w/chrome. If you have any PM me. Color does not matter. And if we can work out a price then great. Thanks!

I have been getting a lot of back and forth on the 18" enkei AKP (black). I also see its in the list of will fit rims on here. What I am trying to find out is if I can get a confirmation with someone that has them on there TC. And if its with or without spacer. I have been told that they clear a lot. And then I have been told they rub slightly. Please help thanks

Hello, I'm looking for a set of 4 STOCK ss t/c rims(in fair condition at least). The previous owner that I bought the car from replaced them with the s/c rims. I don't need tires if that will make them cheaper. However, I wouldn't mind them having tires either if you don't jack up the price. Looking for price range of 400(with tires), 300(without tires). I will pay for shipping. PM me if you have any because I won't check this post often. Thank you.

Removing weight has a lot more involved than just "1 lb unsprung = 11 lbs sprung". If I removed a few pounds from the center of a wheel you wouldn't notice much as the rotational inertia wouldn't change very much, however if the barrel is 5 lbs lighter then they spin easier and have less rotational inertia. Closest approximation I can think of is a sledge hammer, hold a sledge with the head on the ground when you lift it and try to rotate it a shorter handle will be easier to spin.

Cheapest set I could find, just need something for snow tires. Tire Rack says they'll fit but I just wanted to see if anyone on here has tried them. Much appreciated.

I just bought a set of the Sport Tuning T1 wheels in 17" size with winter tires and they fit just fine on my '09 SS/TC. There is only about 1 or 2 mm space between the front caliper and the back of the wheel spokes but they clear without worries.

Just because I know you all love hearing that SS/NA wheels fit without a spacer. Here's a set of 17"s off a 2010 LT, same wheel just in painted silver. They spin just fine but I'll be tossing some 5mm spacers in soon, I don't trust our wheel bearings enough to not eat caliper or lock a tire mid corner.

I've been looking for awhile, I couldnt find anything on them besides dont go drifting and ETC. But I want Rota Grids. I know they break easy I don't plan on going through potholes. I was just want to know what sized adapter I'd need to run them I'm getting 17x8, 17x8.5 or 17x9 5x114.3 I know obv ill need adapters but what size thickness does it need to be to clear the brembos?

Thanks guys

You need to get the wheels and then measure to get the exact measurement.

Anyone know if the Saab Alu 59 wheel fits TCs? It is a 17x7.5 wheel with a 41mm offset. Trying to trade a buddy for these.

This is probably a repost, but I went back a few pages and didn't see anything on 17" Drag DR-19's fitting over the Brembo's. I saw a few other Drag wheels fit, but I'm curious about these. Looking at these for a winter tire/wheel setup because they are some of the cheapest and don't look like garbage.

Specs are as follows:
Wheel Size
17 x 7.5

Bolt Pattern
5/110, 5/115

Wheel Offset
42mm

Hub Bore
73.00

Weight
20 lbs

Hi Folks, I bought an '09 SS in June and got some winter tires and wheels today. I can confirm that the 17" Fast Wheels Samba wheels fit without any spacers and have just as much, if not more clearance for the Brembos than the stock wheels. According to 1010Tires.com, the Sport Edition A8, TSW Nurburgring, and TSW Rivage fit as well, but I don't have them to test.

Are they hub centric or did you need special lugs?
