The Secret Specs to PERFECT F-Body Wheel Fitment!! - NEW WS6 WHEELS!!!

[@Greenlightfilming]

I hate clickbait as much as the next guy, but this WILL NOT disappoint. The car is SO much better looking on the new rollers. Thumbs up if you agree!!

[@dachurl87]

I think the black rims look better on the vette.

[@Greenlightfilming]

You arent the first person to say that. I'll be putting the black wheels back on it for sure

[@abbas674]

What size are the fronts.

[@bdunn14]

@Morning star Garage Factory by far are the best but these don't look too bad.

[@theforerunners5171]

What size are the tires?

[@shannonsisk]

It’s really hard to find a smaller car channel that doesn’t just focus on making everything turbo drag car. This is a great channel with great editing. Also both dream cars lol. I have the WS6 but haven’t gotten a C6Z. That one is next

[@Greenlightfilming]

Hey thanks! that's very kind of you to say, I appreciate it. The C6Z was great. Totally awesome car.

[@batsweezy]

I made the jump to 18" wheels several years ago and like yours, it changed the attitude of the look 100%. Very nice.

[@Greenlightfilming]

18"s really are the way to go on these. If a guy is on the 17/18 fence just go 18.

[@Wreckz_Tea]

Normally I'm not easily impressed by wheels, but holy crap I'm sitting here acting the same way you are in the video. Over here acting like I just put new wheels on my car the way I'm fanboying right now. And I never really care for chrome at all. They set your car off though

[@Greenlightfilming]

I'm still a big fan. They are a killer wheel on these cars.

[@paceta80]

Gorgeous Trans Am and awesome wheels.

[@chuckpatrick9926]

Looks amazing on yours. The pewter color with the welds is perfect. I like the look of my old style weld draglites on my black ws6. The full polished aluminum looks good against the fully black paint

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks man, I agree it's a killer look. Pewter isnt my top pick for color, but the wheels really set it off!

[@jrbird7571]

My `99 with 390,000. miles on the clock still has the factory 16"s. I've been on the fence about what to do on my soon to be next set of tires. After seeing this I'm definitely going staggered with some 17" 275s up from and 17" 315s in the rear. Just want to make sure to get the offset right! Thanks for the video!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Sweet, thanks for checking the video out. Good luck on your wheel search! You have a MOUNTAIN of miles on your '99 ha

[@elr456]

It’s also the colors. The chrome and black of the wheels pairs SO WELL with the black and grayish color of the body of the car.

[@martiniusetihw]

Ohhh brother!!!!!! That is sick!!!!!! They really Change the attitude of the car!!! You hit a home run with this one. Where you able to leave the garage that first night?? Lol🤣😂🤣

[@billyb6743]

Can you please tell me what you have for shocks struts and springs? I’ve got the same wheels and car and having a tough time finding what’s perfect for a drop…same exact offsets as you have. I’ve watched more than a few of ur videos in the last few days and I just can’t find it…is it Strano springs with koni front struts and rear shocks? Assuming there only one set of springs he sells? Thanks man. Just wanna get the right stance on it.

[@michaelleto6418]

TA LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!! I have a 1998 TA Looking for a set of wheels. I agree welds are a lot of money and cosmis are a nice wheel too At a cheaper cost. So your running 295/30/18 front/315/30/18 rear. You said the fronts are 18x10 front but never said the rear I am assuming 18x11 rear??. What is your offset on front and rear?. I heard 888 are extremely hard to find now since the summer is coming around. 888 are the best in reviews out there But nitto 555 are pretty good also. Thanks man

[@michaelleto6418]

I just seen your offsets Thanks again

Good deal, glad you found the info good luck on your search for your TA

[@kareemrichards8635]

Wow nice choice, great wheels on the TA captain!

[@Greenlightfilming]

Thanks man, hard to pick a better wheel than these.

[@highoctanegames]

9:08 I noticed how close the wheel and tire is to the back part of the fender, how many inches is that gap? Because i kinda have some regular street tires on my F-body that the dealership threw on, (which are 235 width, 60 aspec ration and 16in rim) and I have about an inch of room and I'm not sure if I should consider getting 17 or 18 inch rims. Because I want to try to get decent fitment without having to realign too many things if possible (Also sorry if I speak weirdly or unclearly, I'm all new to wheel fitment and all)

[@michaelwallace4703]

Looks great!!! Thanks for sharing. Now I want to change the direction I was going in. Just to verify and my apologies if you’ve mentioned this already, did you roll the rear fenders or do any fitment mods for the rear wheels? Thanks !!

You did good. Congrats!

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@spange_babs9130]

i run prostar chromes on my 95, 15x10 in the rear and 15x7 up front. More of a muscle car/ drag look and I love it

Awesome wheels man, congrats!! Those are my favorite wheels for a Trans Am. Hey, when you re-center your rear with the panhard bar will you make a video on how to do it? There seems to be no videos are instructions out there on how to do this.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Sure, I'll make sure to at least add it into another video if I dont make one just about it.

Beautiful car! I looked through all the comments to see if someone has answered this question but no luck! Is your rear end narrowed or stock length of the original 10bolt?

It's the stock length. Should be identical to a 10 bolt

Thanks appreciate it

[@brently205]

Those look so awesome. Well done on the trade-up. I keep looking for a used set for my CETA. They really would modernize it, but keep the same style with the chrome lip on black. I just don’t really want to bite the bullet on a new set... lol.

[@Greenlightfilming]

Agreed man, and I was in same boat. I would have never bought them new. Way too much $$$. Keep your eyes peeled. Used sets are out there!

Those wheels look sweet especially with the color of the car. I have an 2002 black ws6, and personally I think I want the Miro 111 wheels, i just love the black on black look.

I know they are 18x10 and 18x11 but like med or high pad height and back spacing. Thanks again

[@sucapizda]

Dude I just blew my load. LOL. What a stunner. You are right, these are the best looking wheel on a f body. You are lucky to get a deal like that. It would be hard to afford a brand new set with tires. And Im so glad you keep putting out WS6 content. I just love it. I have a couple of questions for you. What size of a restrictor are you running in your Borla muffler?? I just installed one on my 2002 and I have it wide open and its nasty loud. And If you don't mind me asking, what did the seller of the rims asking before your deal with him. I do have a eye on set of rims, and would like to know for comparison. Thanx bud.

[@nicksgroi6287]

Quick question! If I put on 18 rims and lower my TA with BMR springs 1.25 inch. Do you think they might rub? Side note it’s at stock ride height now with 18’.

[@Greenlightfilming]

I wouldn't think so. You may have to clear your bump stops and the offset is important. Lots of info on ls1tech regarding fitment.

[@mastap1477]

I might have missed it but what are the wheel sizes and offset? I know the front are 18x10 but that’s all I gathered from the video. Car looks great BTW
