Frequently Asked Questions

The 95-705253B uses a 5x120 bolt pattern with +32mm offset and 3.07 inch center bore. This fitment covers 1967-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird, 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO, and 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6. Always verify that your specific model year's hub bore and suspension clearances are compatible before ordering.

The 17x10.5 width is designed for drag radial tires in the 275 to 315 wide range and bias-ply slicks from 9.00 to 10.00 inches nominal width. Common pairings include 275/40R17 and 305/40R17 drag radials. Always consult your tire manufacturer's rim width recommendation to confirm the tire bead seats properly on a 10.5 inch rim.

The Race Star 95 Recluse is DOT compliant and street legal when paired with DOT-compliant tires. Many drag radials are dual-purpose and DOT approved for street use. Non-DOT competition slicks are for track use only. Check local regulations for any restrictions on drag-specific wheel construction in your jurisdiction.

The RST95-705253 carries a 1,580 pound per wheel load rating. For a four-wheel set, this combined capacity is well above the curb weight of most GM Camaro and Firebird platforms. The load rating is sufficient for street and strip drag use on cars within normal power ranges for this wheel application.

The 3.07 inch (approximately 78mm) center bore is sized for GM applications. If your hub OD is smaller than 78mm, hub-centric rings are recommended to eliminate potential vibration from wheel imbalance caused by a loose center bore fit. Most late-model GM platforms with 5x120 bolt patterns fit the bore directly without rings.

Backspace is measured from the back of the wheel flange to the mounting face, in inches. Offset is the distance from the mounting face to the wheel centerline, in millimeters. The RST95-705253 has 7.00 inches of backspace and +32mm offset. A positive offset means the mounting face is toward the outside of the wheel, which positions the wheel further inward in the wheel well for drag applications requiring maximum tire clearance inboard.

Yes. Race Star offers the 95 Recluse in multiple diameters and widths for 5x120 GM applications, including 18 inch options in 4.5 inch narrow front drag wheel sizes and wider rear sizes up to 10.5 and beyond. For a matching drag wheel set on Camaro or Firebird applications, Race Star recommends pairing a narrow front with this 17x10.5 rear.

Race Star Industries provides a 2-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, plus a lifetime structural warranty on the wheel casting itself. The structural warranty covers the wheel against cracks or fractures from material defects under normal use. Impact damage and abuse are not covered under either warranty term.

Race Star wheels are compatible with standard conical-seat lug nuts. The RST95-705253 uses standard 60-degree taper seat lug nuts appropriate for the Camaro, Firebird, GTO, and Corvette applications it fits. Verify thread pitch and seat diameter match your vehicle's factory or aftermarket studs before ordering lug nuts.

Installation Notes

1. Verify 5x120 bolt pattern, 3.07 inch hub bore, and +32mm offset compatibility with your specific vehicle and suspension setup
2. Confirm that the 17x10.5 wheel and your selected tire combination clears fenders, calipers, and suspension components at full lock and full compression
3. Mount tire to wheel per tire manufacturer's bead seating instructions and inflate to recommended pressure
4. Balance the assembly before mounting on the vehicle
5. Install using conical-seat lug nuts to vehicle manufacturer torque specification
6. Torque lug nuts in a star pattern, re-torque after first 50 to 100 miles
