ok, so I really wanted the 17x11" zr1 rims but without extensive modification (read: anything but spacers) they won't fit. So I thought maybe the 18x10.5 z06 rims would fit, but it doesn't look like anyone here has tried that. I searched for it, but came up with only a vew people that were thinking about doing it and there wasn't a hrad yes or no. Before I go out and get these things I would like to know with a good amount of certainty they will fit. I plan on putting 285/xx/ZR18's or 295/xx/ZR18's on them. Even if someone who hasn't done this has expience with putting wide rims on the back of thirdgen's I would really appriciate the input.

TIA,

Jim

 

DUDE!!!!!!!! anything from a newer model WONT FIT without an ADAPTER!!!!! Unless you plan on changing your rear, plan on buying adapters!!!!

 

you wil need adapters. and several peopel have the 18x9 1/2 c5 rims on thier car here, but none with the z06. although im saving to put them at all 4 coreners (the 18x 9.5's)

 

This is Third Gen Resource's 91 Z convertible. Are these the Z06 wheels?

 

thats them

 

ok, maybe you guys misunderstood me, I meant that I will get spacers, I realize that, I just don't want to do fender well modifications. Thanks.

 

when that car is done it will kick so much a$$.. i could see it now.. imports getting hosed by that thing "oh.. i wasn't really trying.. its a camaro so if I were really into it I would of won"

 

ttt

 

camaroguy99,
with the 295's on the back, they should fit WAY better than the 315's
there are tons of us 4th Gen guys running them
i believe they have the same backspacing as the 11" wide ZR1's(not really positive)
so if they do, the ZR1 spacers should work for your rear
if ya need ta find out the correct backspacing on them, i would recommend asking the guys in the Appearance forum at:

im getting the same thing i have a hook up on the rims and im getting them cheap hehe about 100 bucks cheaper then the lowest retail price ive seen but u can fit them on without any fenderwell mods but yes u will need the spacers 2 inch for the rear and i believe 2.5 inch in the front...heres a good spacer...spacers . gl

 

woo hoo, that what I wanted to hear, I'm getting z06 rims!! . Thanks guys.

BTW,

I'm getting a set of 17x9.5's and 18x10.5's for about $1000, sho if you can beat that and are willing to help me out drop me a line and hopefully we can work something out. Thanks.

 

I had to have my mac do a slight wheel well mod because the tires were scraping when I initially put them on. You will probably need some lowering springs as well .
