Default Question about replica wheels-need help!

Will these wheels fit on my 94 Coupe with no modifications. And what size tires will fit??
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

Has anyone bought from this manufacturer and what do you think?
Any help much appreciated!

You will need offsets of 56mm in front, and 50mm in rear.

Look at 275s in front and 315s in rear.
But you can use 285s in front and 335s in rear if you wish.

The vendor is a CF Supporting Vendor, but I personally don't know a lot about the company.

If you are bidding on the 2 pairs with 2 9.5" wide and 2 11" wide, you will need the 9.5" wheels for the front in 56mm offset and the 11" wheels for the rear in 50mm offset.

Tire sizes for the fronts can be either 275/40-17 or 285/40-17. The rear tires should be 315/35-17. The rears will not hurt the speedo accuracy. They may stick out a bit from the rear wheelwells but not a lot.

If you want smaller, just get 9.5" wheels all around, which will be cheaper, and use 275 or 285 tires all around.

I bought from this Manufacturer and TOMZ, got 9.5 all around and 255 up front and 285 in rear, all 17". Great dealing with Tomz and Manufacturer. Only problem was one of the center caps was damaged, called Tomz and had a new one in 4 days.

I bought some black A molds for my 94 that were 9.5 on all 4 corners. I run 255 in front 285 in back but plan to go to 285 all the way around so I can rotate. My vette is lowered and I wanted to go with 9.5 in front 11 in back with 285 / 315 respectively but was afraid to rub.

It seems like he lets you pick whichever offset you need if you'd win the auction...

That's pretty freaking cool

That is the vendor I bought mine from and yes he is reputable. One rim was marred and he shipped me up a new one no additional shipping charge, and just swapped the one out w/UPS guy. Id do buisness w/Tom again.
