454ss wheels on a square

Found a great deal on a set of rims with caps for 90's 454ss. Any one got pictures of a square with these rims? Preferably lowered shortbed fleet.

Thanks

I found one on Bing. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you'll have to use a 1 or 2" spacer to run them, otherwise they'll be sucked up in the fenders and sit too far inward. That may be why nobody uses them on squares.

Probably this.

We cut a set and made them into 15x8's. So there's a quantity of at least four out in the world somewhere...

I agree, my 454ss had them and I never liked them, only kept them because truck was original with 54k miles......never understood the interest in these.

Re: 454ss wheels on a square

They're not terrible, and the Astro/Safari center caps kinda look better IMO, but they are 15x7. Although I think Stockton and a couple other wheel builders will cut up whatever wheels you send them and put wider hoops on if you want to go that way.

Re: 454ss wheels on a square

Wheels America turned my 17x9's into 17x11's. Could only widen to the inside though which was fine really. .5" further out & they woulda stuck out past the quarter panels (1987 Pontiac Trans Am GTA). And had them powder coated flat black but with a polished lip.
