Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports
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????

They look right at home on there. A good trick to doing a photo shoot on a driveway it to wet it down with water and then pull the car onto it.

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports
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.

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports
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?

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports
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.

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports
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?

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports
Bought them used off of a 4th Genner.
Haha thanks man!
This is the closest I got. The old vette wheels in the pics above are 295/35/18 in the rear.
No problems after I grinded down both tie rod ends and the strut supports haha.
Planning on it in the near future!!!
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.
***. ok you win....
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/

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports
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.

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports
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.

Re: New wheels. C5 ZO6 Motorsports
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.
