Go to the middle of page and download Part1; go to page 94 & 95 and look for item #RGT255.
These downloads are huge but have tons of parts and info. Good reference for dreamers.
Atlanta copied this catalog, but I can't find it now.

Those are the Fiske FM-5 Classics and look to be 17" as well.
I have 17x8.5 in front and 17x10 in back.
The 8.5's - 37mm offset, 6.08" backspacing in front and the 10's have a 30.5mm offset, 6.58" backspace in back.
Here are a couple pics of them on my car. I love the LeMans rear wing as well

I love those rims Charlie, very nice FM-5s. I'm just curious with those rims and offsets, what is the widest size tire and which model did you fit? Or you never tried to push the tire size to the max?
Currently, I have 235/45-17 up front with Fuzion's ZRi's and 275/40-17 in back. The 235's clear nicely and I had an alignement done which has less negative camber. I chose the Fuzions due to they had a narrower overall section width for the size I was interested in and the specs and price was right!
I know Yoko's would have been near a full inch wider overall for the same size in the rear. For the rear I have some 1/4" spacers on the hub and took out the OE spacers and I have ~ a fist width before I hit anything on the inside of the tire. The outer edge I have never had to roll and do not have any rubbing issues either. I figure I could take out the spacers and run a 295 back there and still be safe.
Up front I could have maybe gone with a 245/40-17 but the 235/45's were a closer match for circumfrance to the rears and i was more confident they would fit. I do have some issies with running 3" brake coolings hose up front and it hitting the inside of the tire and against the Welmeister Ant-sway bar when I turn close to full lock either R or L.
Thanks for the compliment partnter!
