ok, i'll ask all the usual questions, 1= how much? 2= do you plan on lowering it at all? 3= what size spacers? looks like you need a new camera or a really good buff. car looks great but should be shinier in the pics????

Thanks. I actually just got done washing it, then decided to take pics lol.

Hmmm Love the car, wheels, and color...But not so much on the Underglow or spoiler. But to each his own!!! Good looking car if thats your style!! lol
EDIT: PLUS THATS NOT EVEN A DRIVEWAY!!! haha
duuude thats the exact wheel setup i want when i get my iroc!
except i want them in the flat silver, not black or chromed.
i looove the look of fatter back wheels.
oh and where the hell did you find them for 650 bucks??
Nice setup. By any chance, do you have a pic of a side view that shows both sidewalls. I'm going with 17s and 18s myself and was thinking of going with 295/35s in the rear.
Do you have problems with rubbing anywhere? That is the exact setup i want to do on my IROC, well after i tune it correctly aha.

z-oh's are cheap, a while back I payed $399 shipped from tomzwheels for mine 17x9.5 all around. oewheelsllc has some good deals too
TT84Z5SPD, looks awesome! Car looks identical to mine minus the new wheels. I always wondered what my car would look like with black Z06 rims, now I know. My all time favourite rim would be the 17x11 ZR1. What size spacers did you use again?
so do u have to use spacers to run these types of wheels?? that is the set up I want cuz all my car does is spin n i think the wider rear tires wud help.
hey another question from a noob, how do you find them to fit third gens?
the only good deals ive found say theyll fit 93-02 camaros.
will the same company usually get them for 82-92's or do they have to be special ordered?

Bought them used off of a 4th Genner.

This is the closest I got. The old vette wheels in the pics above are 295/35/18 in the rear.

Hey thanks man!! But looking at your F-Quick shows me yours looks better. You have the hood I want!! The spacers are 2.25 inch on all 4.

You have to use wheel spacers. I got mine from Skulte performance. They also have an awesome wheel fitment chart!!! Check it out... http://www.skulte.com/
I'm selling my cowl hood actually Been hassled by the cops too much so I went back to a stock 91-92 Z28 hood with functional blisters. I sold off my GTA rims to one of my buddies and I'm currently running stock double line IROC's. I wouldn't mind a set of Z06's now.

Do you have pics of what you grinded down ? I have the C5 wagon wheels that you previously had on mine right now, and have some grind issues.

How much u want for it? And how "functional" are the blisters? And i LOVE double liners!!! Bought a set for my dad for fathers day and now I wish I would have kept them!! haha.

All I did was grind the very outer most part of the outer tie rods where my wheel weights were hitting. Not much to grind at all. but when I had the wagon wheels on, this was not an issue. I think the Motorsports are actuall a little bit thicker metal on the inside of the wheel...I dont have any pics of this sorry.
The holes are cut out of the blisters, they act like a heat extractor. Air passes over the hood and sucks the hot air under the hood right out of there. Nothings painted yet but heres a few pics.
I'm selling the cowl for $385CDN obo. It's a Harwood show series 4" cowl.
Also, do you really have 2.77 gears with a T56? My 3.27's feel so tall with my T-56, I can't imagine the 2.77's...
Klearz?? IDK what those are lol. And yes I have 2.77's and yes they are soooo tall. I topped out in 4th gear at 167mph on the dyno haha!! I need a nine inch with 4.10's
