Default American Racing Outlaw II's

Considering a new set of inexpensive rims, would prefer chrome but $'s tight with the lil' baby and all...

Will these require spacers?

I'd like for my new rims to stick out just a bit further then stock rims, say 1/2" or an 1", just a different, more aggressive stance...something different...

Here's the specs:

Front and Rear

Size: 15x8
Offset: -19mm
Backspacing: 3.74"
Bolt Pattern: 5-475

(Silver Machined w/Clearcoat)
American Racing Outlaw II (Silver Machined w/Clearcoat)

Found them on tire rack . c o m for $100 each...

Figure that sounds reasonable..

You need a picture or a link to the rim.

Everybody is to lazy or not interested enough to look them up.

Hope this helps get some replies.

I actually like that style of rim and think it would look great on a vette. You may want to check out Ebay as you can find some good new rim deals on there.

I can't comment on the specs but I'm sure others will chime in shortly.

Need to order rims asap but need to know from the 'Vette owners if they'll fit with no modifications..

Thanks all,

Kevin

Those wheels have the same dimensions as the AR-23 that I have on my car. The wheel is a bit closer to the outside, but still under the bodywork.

I like your rims better then the ones I had settled for...

Will: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARE-235765/?rtype=1 work with my 255 60 - 15 Firestone Firehawk tires? Fitment wise or are they too wide for a 7" rim?? My rims that are on the car are 8"

oK OK, I see now that they sell them in 15X8's...

Are these the exact ones that you have on your car, shown in the picture??

That is the same wheel as mine. They were on the car when I purchased it a couple years ago and were in really ratty condition. But with some good cleaning they came back to life quite well. I put on the P245/60R15 tires, as the car had some weird 215's on it. The 255's will fit fine.

The one's that Summit shows in the picture I believe is a generic picture right? If I order them they'll be same as yours, 5 lugs, small center cap, not that big ugly center cap right??

I figure they posted the truck version (8 lug) as a general pic..
