Pic request: Bird's with Z06's

I'm planning on getting some 18"x9.5" Z06's here in the near future and I just wondered if any of you have Z06's on your birds or any pics of them. If you do, post 'em up!

PS: The only things I'll need to do to make these fit are wheel adapters right? No wheel well modification?

Hey is that your car? B/c I want those rims on my 92 camaro and I am wondering how do they fit on third gens. Do they need spacers? And where do you get spacers?

Yeah, I love those Z06 rims on the 90-92 birds. To answer your questions, yes those would require spacers because of the backspacing. Vettes always have those crazy wide rear tires, the spacers can be ordered from different sites, I would personally go with Hawks Third Gen Parts but if you went used you could search the Parts For Sale on the board or EBay.

ya, that is my car with my old 18" Z06 wheels, 18x10.5 rear and 18x9.5 front.
I have 2" Spacers on the front and an LS1 rear end out back.
I sold them since they stuck out a bit too much on the rear, which I had no way of fixing. If I had a 3rd gen rear, then I could have gotten a thinner spacer to correct them, but since I can't make my LS1 rear skinnier cost effectively, I just sold the wheels.
