I know alot arent a fan of the 22s i have on now but i do love how they fill the wheel wells. They are 22x10. I have gotten to the point where i want to take the 3" lift out and go smaller wheels so i can enjoy the ride and use the power that i have from the lt1 without worrying about blowing out a tire from a pot hole. I originally had iroc wheels and i think they look best on these gbodies but they dont come in 10" wide tgat im aware of. Suggestions and pics would be appreciated. Thanks

These are 17x11 but they do stick out a bit. They grip really well which is what I need in autocross. They make them in a lot of sizes and backspace. I bought them on summit

10" is a pretty wide wheel for the front of a lowered G-body and will likely rub the inner fenders, unless it has a really stretched, undersize tire on them

Any tire wider than 245 will likely need at least some inner fender mods in front and 245's will fit fine on an 8" rim.

These are 18x9.5" on all four corners with 275/35/18. Rear is notched, front had to trim the bottom front fender lip. Backspacing is 5.25"

Thanks for all the input and pics especially. Just to be clear though, i am NOT lowering it. I have a 3" lift in it now to fit the 22×10s wich i want to take out and get back to stock ride height. Just sick of feeling like im driving a brick. Keep the pics coming. Thanks

I really dug these wheels on my car, looking forward to my new ones since I wasn't a shiny guy I decided to ditch them

They're only 22s, you can throw the "lift kit" in the nearest dumpster.

You can still go fast on plus sized wheels, suspension tuning is the key.
