i'm either picking up a 87 Z28 this saturday or i'm pickin up a 89 IROC and i want to throw these on since my SS has no engine right now, might as well use the wheels right? fronts are 265/40/17 and rears are 295/35/18. my question is will i need spacers for a stock height car or will i need spacers and what size if someone knows.

Re: z06 speedlines need spacers?

Bolt on ones are required. Your wheel studs are not long enough for the adapters to fit, nor would they be as safe.

But personally? I don't like even the bolt on adapters. There are safety reasons that some sanctioning bodies do not allow adapters of any kind in their racing.

Re: z06 speedlines need spacers?

Not that exact vendor but those are the sizes you need to run the wheels you're looking at using. Take pix after.
