Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients this 1988-1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z 17x9 Gold Wheel Individual Hawks Restoration Parts HT179IROCZGOLD-I, a reproduction of the classic IROC-Z-style wheel with a larger 17x9 size and gold five-spoke finish. This listing is for ONE individual wheel, making it a practical replacement for a damaged wheel or a way to add a matching spare without purchasing another complete set.
This is the wheel for the third-gen crowd that wants that unmistakable IROC look without straying too far from the factory-inspired styling. The gold five-spoke center and factory-style outer lip keep the '80s F-body attitude intact, while the 17x9 sizing gives you a much more modern tire platform. If you're putting an IROC back together or just need one more wheel to finish the car, this is where you get her done.

IMPORTANT APPLICATION NOTES AND EXCLUSIONS
- This listing is for ONE wheel, not a set of four.
- This is a wheels-only product.
- Center caps and lug nuts are not included unless specifically stated in the selected configuration.
- The wheel uses a 5x4.75 bolt pattern, +12mm offset and 5.5-inch backspacing.
- Hawks' corresponding wheel-kit documentation specifies two front wheel spacers for proper front fitment on third-generation F-body applications.
- Do not assume front spacers are included with this individual wheel.
- Verify brake clearance, suspension clearance, wheel-opening clearance, ride height and tire clearance on the specific vehicle.
- The 17x9 wheel is an upsized reproduction of the IROC-Z styling, not an original factory 16x8 wheel.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Test-fit the wheel and verify the bolt pattern, offset, backspacing and brake/suspension clearance before mounting the tire.
For third-generation F-body applications, Hawks documents the use of two front wheel spacers with the 17x9 configuration. Use the correct application-specific spacers and wheel hardware.
A commonly recommended tire size is 275/40R17, but final tire selection should be confirmed for the vehicle's suspension, ride height, alignment and available clearance.
Have the tire professionally mounted and balanced and torque the wheel hardware to the vehicle manufacturer's specification.
