As long as you tighten them, you shouldn't have a problem......

I haven't noticed anything different about my handling as a daily driver with the adapters........

I bought all 4 of my rims WTIH adapters for $1,100 so in some cases you can actually get them cheaper......

 

FINISH THE DAMN ENGINE FIRST

You are getting carried away!

 

Mike has got a point your wheels ain't gonna do you much good with a empty engine bay

 

WS6

 

Wheel swapping is no big deal, it's simple and quick.

Maybe I should sell my LT4 setup and look for a nice LS1 setup.
I've been thinking about that for awhile as well.
Or maybe drop a 2JZ-GTE in there. I don't know who I would offend more, the ricers or the domestics.

 

YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND TOO MUCH

Wait until I can afford the Lt4 Setup Then do what you want

 

Either will look nice, so go with whichever strikes your fancy.

 

hold the boat, what is this 2jz-gte whatchamajig?

kolby

 

That is the motor that is in the 93.5-99 Supra Twin Turbo.
this is my friends Supra,

395RWHP @ 18psi. awesome motor.

 

If you are going to do that, then go with the single turbo. It would work out better all around. Is his Supra twin, single, or not at all? Those cars are pretty sweet!

 

His car is twin at the moment. He is saving for a 6 speed swap since his auto is crapping out again. After the 6 speed, then probably a T78 Single setup.

 

He will get the ls1 then a few months later he will change his mind. He will look at that 502 RAM jet...

 

Geeeeeeeeeez! You're talking about wheels and you don't even have a motor in your car yet? What's the deal? Undecided on what you want to put in it yet?
Amazing! At least you will have wheels. Whatever you decide on.
Kind of hard to drive anything without them!

 

Hey man, where is the poll? I'm to lazy to count how many said which rim. That choice is driving me nuts though. Either on they look great! Just toss a coin or something

 

My car club President (ACFA), Dan Williams, did just what you are talking about to his WS6 wheels...I wish I had a side shot, they look great! Crap, forgot the attachment!

Still, I'd go for the OZ wheels...the others are getting a little too common.

 

ok, here it is...

 

I don't disagree with you in theory, but in the case of my girlfriend's car (87 Firebird, FWD offset Niche wheels, spacers front and rear, with subframe connectors, LCAS, adjustable panhard, Eibachs, KYBS, etc), it handles remarkably well with no hint of oversteer or any other suspension or steering quirks. I have driven plenty of 3rd and 4th gen F-bodies (my own 97 SS had lots of goodies, too), and her car will outhandle any of them. I'm not saying its anything especially trick, but it works very well...better than I thought it could. If anything, it feels more stable to me because the wheels are pushed out flush with the wheelwells.

 

Keep the LT4! Reliability seems to be much better than the LS1s.

 

I love the LT1/LT4 myself! Thats what I would choose seriously, its a great engine! I am trying to come up with a good plan to get as much money out of my six cylinder without ripping anybody off or taking a large loss, so I can buy a 93-97 Trans Am!

I want the power of the LT1, with the body of a LS1 (98+ Front End and ASCD "Raptor" Hood, Polished Y2k Corvette Wheels). Every day I want that setup more and more

The LT1 is an awsome engine, and with your LT4 Heads and Intake, plus the LT4 "Hot Cam" and other LT4 goodies, you'll have a great foundation to through that NOS setup on. You'll be able to beat those LS1 guys no sweet! Show them you don't need 325+ Stock Horsepower to be fast

Goodluck with whatever you decide!

 

Any good quality spacer, made from billet aluminum and with good hardware should be as safe as a stock setup. Shannon's are very strong; they came from Salesco (not an endorsement!). I doubt Skulte would be selling anything like that, knowing the kind of driving they'll see, if they weren't safe.

 

skulte's spacers are made up of billut aliminum...

 

Don't get the LS1 motor manny, you can get better motors for cheaper crate that make more HP than the LS1, I gave up on trying to build anythign myself. Or SC or play with things I dont' know, I'm saving up for an SDPP TPI engine, I just got an email back form them today....

Its gonna run me 3400 that with the shipping. Slap some headers on there, and my other goodies, and I'm set to go and I'll be a happy camper when I knock that 387hp up to 400

Through some NOS on that botch and be seeing some very low numbers

 

i like mine the best

 

Can anyone help since we are on the sublject?? I have narrowed my long search to 3 rims. I want to run a 17x9.5 rim with possibly a pair of 315/35 BFG street slicks. Here are three pix of my car because I do not know which one will be the easiest for you to work with. I have also attached three rims. Can you send me three pix (one with each rim)? Thanks much I appreciate it.

WHEELS

 

oops double post, sorry.

 

Last I knew, spacers were a no no if you plan any track time. I personally would get the correrct wheel/offset. But that me..
