Looks Great!
How close to the frame in the rear?
I have 17x10 with 4.75 b.s. I don't think I could fit a 5.25 b.s.

Nice car Viperman!
Thanks. When I had the 4.75 backspace, I could put my hand between the tire and the frame. It measured just less than 1 inch. I can no longer put my hand or fingers between the frame and tire and measures less than 1/2". No rubbing on the frame.
Ah yes i forgot specs.
18x9 front 4.75 bs
18x10 rear 4.75 bs

Oh my goodness! I was hoping someone would post up some hi-res pics of the new GN aluminum rims by GBodyParts. Fantastic looking wheels!! And very nice car too!
Thanks. The rims look and fit great and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to keep the factory good looks.
I saw the gbody wheels at the Nats for the first time in person and they are nice. I like the luster better than factory and the have to be lighter. I never understood heavy chrome on a performance car. We sold a new ZR1 'Vette at work with chrome wheels last year or something. I know it probably doesn't matter much on a high power car like that but I wonder how much heavier the chromed wheels are over the lightweight regular wheels; I think they are magnesium or something like that. Sorry for going off topic.
Your car looks great with those gbody wheels.

Thanks! All total I shaved almost 50 lbs off my stock GN wheels and tires when I switched to the GBody rims and the MT Sportsman tires. I am also incredibly pleased with the tires. They are quiet and hook amazingly well for a regular radial.
