I keep looking. I found these. Not exactly what I am looking for but close. I am looking for a 5 spoke with high offset for the 88. Preferably silver or chrome.

The broad center reminds me of a Corvette wheel.

Great wheel and color combination .... what brand wheel are those?

I am bumping this thread as i am about to put 235/35/19 on 8.5 flared front and on a 9.5 295/30/19 or 275/30/19 depending on budget.
I put 245/40/19 and can't drive car for a test fit on front definatly no good. rear are fine on 275/35/19 but want to use 30 series rear.
My car is lowered 1.7 inches so may have to raise front again if still tight with the 235/35/19. Just wondering if anyone has 8.5 all way around on stock body fiero and if your lowered at all or on stock suspension.

Spyn 18 ich 35m offset running 8.5 rears and 7.5 front

What ever you do--don't go beyond 25.1-3 diameter for the fronts and nothing beyond 26.5-7 diameter in the rear, but your fronts are going to be sticking out big time using 8.5" rim. I'm using 235/35/19 for the front (it's a 87) and 18x8.5 on another Fiero (88).


23 Pounder: I need to go back and weigh both the tire and rim.

I have 18"x7 on my 88 formula 2" lowing springs in the front.

18 x 8 WRX wheels custom painted on my 88 I had to use 1" spacers on the rear to get them to set out in the rear the way I wanted them to.
but I love how they set in farther in the front than the stock wheels.
D.

For the front of an 88 would 18x7.5 35ET stick out disgustingly far on a stock body? Seems like Jscotts wheels should stick out pretty far if I read the chart correctly, but it looked good. Thanks.

It won't but at least for me is the farthest I would go on an 88. I had it in my old yellow car. I think best for 88 front is a 42mm offset with 7" rim. I don't trust too much that chart for 88s. Just a guide.

Alex thank you very much I thought the yellow was like an 85 GT since it was an aero notchie. And how much are those lowered, they look killer.

a 7.5" wheel would stick out a half inch LESS than mine. So I guess I would tell you that it would look okay.

That chart doesn't have the 88 front on it, which you would have to add about an inch compared to the 87 and earlier.

I actually don't mind a little bit of tire poking out. It gives the car a more aggressive stance to me.

Here is my 18 19 combo on an 88 coupe turned GT.





They are VMR V710 5x112 wheels with Matte Black Power coat:
Fronts: 18x8.5 with a 45mm off set running a 235/40/18.
I am running rear hubs up the front with the custom 5x112 bolt pattern, it pushes the wheel out another 7mm, giving an 8.5" rim an effective 38mm offset and they stick up a little.



Rears: 19x9.5 with a 35mm off set running a 275/30/19, but I would prefer a 275/35/19.
I have coil overs, but otherwise stock suspension.


*please excuse the damaged bumper in this one*
