hey guys, I'm thinking of getting some new ws6 wheels and was wondering what I needed, I think I heard something about spacers or something- sould someone explain what I would have to do for this conversion

thanks in advance

 

yep, you need spacers, because if not, the 4th gen wheels will rub in the back and front....

a search will work too.

 

you can grab spacers, or get a 4th gen rear and just get spacers for the front.... i think thats my plan... the spacers are $$$ so thats why i sugest getting teh 4th gen rear.

edit: i see you live in NJ... check out our new club/gang/group/whatevertf at NJfbody.com...

 

Is it Big Gal or Bi Gal? Just curious...

 

lol it believe it to be Big Al...

 

The wheels won't rub. They won't go on the car without spacers.

 

hes right,
if u want a good rear endm, get a 4thgen, do the swap
then put some spacers in the front

 

...... Since we can read and spell well... we can see that it cant be Big Gal since there is only one "G"...

And why would someone want there SN to be bi gals 87 z28.. .that would make no sense.. .at least to me it wouldnt... so logic would dictate that it has to be Big Als 87 Z28....
you are all a bunch of sick perves...


.. back to the subject... I sugest getting a rear from a M6 since they got the higer numericly ratio gears then the A4's did. Lots of LS1 guys sell there rears since the engine can pretty much tear that 10 bolt apart after a few mods, a super clutch, and some DR's.

 

That is what I just got.
The LS1 rear that I just bought came with GM Motive 4.10 gears, Spohn LCA relocation brackets, and the rear disc brakes with lines and e-brake cables.

 

But You told me it was you and your 3 sorority sisters lookin for fun in @ Z!

When are you lookin to get that rear Al?

 

I put 1.5" wheel adapters from Performance Wheel all the way around when I put these '00 10-spoke wheels on my car. Clearance is good and the Wheel Adapters are of good quality.

The '00 10-spoke wheels are 17" x 9" with 7" backspacing. Most 3rd gens need 5.5" backspacing so 7 - 5.5 = 1.5". If you call Performance Wheel, ask for Neil.

Wow, 4.10's? You havd a 6spd going with that? hehehe.... probably do, just forgot how your whole set up goes.

Swerve, your car looks nice man!... Did you just get thoes rims from SLP? i know there having a super clearance sale on them. Thoes rim do look nice with that car.

 

Thanks-
They are SLP take offs, but I got them thru Hawk's 3rd gen. I think they were $680, shipped. He even thru in in extra set of center caps and an SLP t-shirt.

S-D

 

Agreed!

 

nice... i think they are 499 from slp... and the hq is about 20 min south from me... so i just pay tax. Im gunna need a set of 17's for the one day uberbrake upgrade.

 

Ya, I am going with a 6 speed.
After I started to drive the Formula I realized how much I hated automatics, so I sold my 4L60E.

 

Yep- the price has dropped since I bought mine. I'm almost thinking about buying a pair (two) of these wheels to mount some drag radials on. Then I can run those and keep a full size spare in the car with me.
