Someone posted a link to a wheel that was on sale, but for newer GM vehicles but would also fit on our 4 3/4 pattern. I was thinking it was something for the GTO's and other LS vehicles, but I can't remember.

I can't figure out which keywords to search.

Any help?:Do No:

Steve, I think they were on the SLP website. Seems to me the offset was quite a bit different than our stock offset.

David, you're right it was SLP:

I was searching the bench and couldn't figure out a good keyword to use.

As far as size, you pointed out that the 17x8's had a 7" backspacing, which likely wouldn't work. I was actually thinking about them relative to fitting one of the new 04-06 GTO's. But looking at SLP's Wheel/Tire section they don't list anything for the late model GTO's at all - so I'm assuming those don't fit, so I can't recommend them for that either.

After re-reading it, it does say that it fits:


NOTES: NOT compatible with SLP chrome or silver lugs. Use Lugnut Package (Part #82552). These wheels also fit 1973-1988 G-Bodies, 1966-1972 A-Bodies, 1968-1982 Corvettes, and late-model "S" Trucks (2WD only).
