Wheels and TiresNeed help with wheels or tires? Got fitment issues? Have questions about tire performance and handling? Ask all of those questions here!
I found seem rims I would like to run on my 87 iroc. They are currently on a 95 z28 so I figure the bolt pattern is the same, it's the offset and the rubbing that worries me. My car has a eibach sportline spring kit in it, which lowers the front 1.6" and the rear 1.3". Here is the info....fronts are 275/40/18s Backs are 305/35/18s and they come with Mickey Thomson ET street radials. They are corvette replica rims. Will they fit without rubbing?

Believe it or not they work front and back without any modifications at all! I tried 2 inch and 1.25" spacers. Both worked without rubbing. The closest point for rubbing is inner fender of the front wheel. I could. It believe that the 1.25" spacer worked. I think it's because the car was lowered that it has the ability to clear the strut. Kind of a bonus for me anyways after installing these tires because they are a little taller than my factories, I gained 1/2" clearance under the car but kept my tight fender to wheel gap. This is good for me because I've been trying to get my lng tube header y pipe to work and that .5" sounds minimal but actually that makes a big difference! I am going to exchange the 1.25" for 1.5" just because the dust cap is only slightly preventing my Center caps on the from rims from clipping in place. Also I think I would like a little more stick out than what I have. Here are some pics of the 2 spacers, 1.25" and 2".
