    So, I’ve seen it done on other cars, and I must say I love the look. Problem is, I’m having trouble either finding the wheels I want, or finding them in the correct specs.

    I’m looking to do the 17” Procomp steel wheels, the black steel ones, looking to be around 7.5” to 8” wide.

    I can’t seem to find pics of them on a GP either. Maybe it hasn’t been done, maybe it has. I’ll post a pic of the wheel style I want to run.

    Maybe check out American Racing or Bassett wheels.

    Been all over. I’ll look at basset. I know procomp has 17x8, and I can get them in the correct lug pattern. We are et54, right? Or I might be confusing that with my Sti. What would that translate to in inches. Only reason I ask, the wheels are for trucks, off road, so backspacing is inches, ie- 4.5”, 5”, etc.

    Forgot 2- Aero and Bart Racing.

    Not sure on the backspacing. I know that info is here somewhere. Also be aware of bore diameter.

    I’ll look up how to measure the backspacing and go from there.
