here are some pics of the car with the wheels on the car. look so much better

 

Absolutely sexy man..nicely done

 

looks awesome, post more pics ASAP

 

looks great sean cant wait to see it in person!

 

they look great, even though the stock 91-92 are some of my favorites...

17s > 16s

That car would look even better with some silver heritage stripes. Thats just what im picturing right now

 

how wide are they 9.5? looks great btw

 

If you dont mind me asking..What did you pay for them?

 

Or some ghosted black heritage stripes

Both of those combos would look SICK!


Lookin' good man, REAL good

 

looks awesome

 

looking for some stripes, going to go the black. they are the zr1 so the are 9.5 and the magnizium(sp)

 

what size tires are you running up front? do they rub the inner plastic in the fenderwells?

 

they are the small ones 235/40/17 as of now but going to run 255/40/17 once i get the new front tires. was wanting to run the 275/40/17 but no one can tell me if they will fit

 

whats the width of the rim?

 

real nice job.

 

9.5

 

I will tell you right now they will fit with 275/40/17. That's what I'm running on my 17x9.5 ZR1's. As long as you have 2" spacers behind them they will work perfect. Dan keeps bugging me about those stupid tires and he SWEARS they rub on my car, even though he's never seen the car in person. I promise you AND him my tires do not rub.

 

that realy makes me feel better, i will get that size for sure now. thanks BlueZee

 

No problem bro

*With brand new tires, you *MIGHT* see minimal rub at FULL-TURN. But when do you really drive with the full at full turn? Maybe once in a while when backing out of a parking space, but nothing serious enough to wear down the tread on the tires. And it would only rub on the inside edge of the tire, so it's nothing to be concerned about. I've only had mine rub ONCE and it was in this kind of circumstance, and I've had these wheels for a year now*

 

Looks hot dude. I want a set of those for my car.

 

I used to have 17x9.5 ZR1 on my car, and I ran 275/40's all the way around with no rub! I even lowered my car with eibach Pro-kit, and the only rub was on full lock parking lot type turning - as Bluezee stated.

The car looks really sweet - Nice work!

 

i dont care about the tire itself, i care about the inner plastic or anything else getting rubbed by the tires

 

The plastic liner is what rubbed on mine after lowered on full lock turn. it barely rubbed, basically looked like it polished the plastic.

 

sean you have to consider your car is way low. my car has the intrax spings and next time i see you ill let you look at my plastic inner fenders, they are pretty much gone on the top, now idk if your car is as low as mine but i only have 245/45/17 tires on the front and at the bottom of hills and big bumps it rubs the plastic and that stuff doesnt last very long lol.

 

You gotta take into consideration also that your wheels and his wheels have different backspacing PLUS he's using 2" spacers.

 

those zr1s look perfect sean, although i'm bias cuz i have a pair myself,haha.
However i like the slp ones for 3rd gens better, as to the fact that they have a deeper dish than the 4th gens, and the hyperblack is more low key. but then again they're only 8" wide...

next time i need tires, i'm sending two of my rims off to be widened 2 inches, then throwing some 285 kumho mx's on them.

you hit the 12s yet w/ that lt1?

camaro looks great!

 

i hope to get into the the 12's once i hit the track again.

 

if the tires are wide enough that wont make a difference

 

what does tire size have to do with backspacing and spacers? A 275mm tire is recommended for a 9.5 inch rim. There's not much overhang on each side of the lip. Your getting back in to your old ways of talking before researching dantheman

I got excited when i seen the thread about ss wheels but i have the other ss wheels going on in the spring the 10 spoke ones. I love them. and 275/40-17 is the correct tire size as everyone else has told you. They look sharp though.

 

Pwned

 

why does this always happen?????????????????

 

Certain people like to argue.


Anyways, You should get some custom center caps for those things. When I had mine made, I used the Corvette C4 emblem caps, and removed the emblems (they're just a sticker). I had red Z28 vinyl emblems made to fit into the grooves where the C4 emblems were. You should get something like "RS" or "Camaro" for those wheels. That would look awesome in that body color vinyl

 

i like the corvette emblems but it does kinda look off on a camaro, i put small chevy symbol decals i got from moultrie on my center caps and it looks awesome imo and considering all four were $2 really cant complain.

 

i like the zr1 emblems, seeing how they are from a corvette, and goes with the covette covers. but can i see some pics of the caps u are refering to, bluezee??????

 

Sure thing bro


Crappy picture from my phone:

 

and were did ya get them??????i love them

 

Those used to be the C4 Corvette emblem caps. I took off the emblems (they are just a sticker), and took them to a tint/vinyl shop and had them cut me out those stickers. It's just a red vinyl sticker in the correct "Z28" font, fit to sit in the lil' crevice where the old emblems used to be. Cost me $5

 

sweet i will beed to do the same. thanks again bluezee

 

No problemo

 

Those look really nice. Very clean looking car. I have a question, are those 9.5 all the way around or front only? And are you using 2 inch adapters all the way around?

 

2 inch in the front and 4th gen rearend so no spacers in the rear. and yes they are 9.5 all the way around

 

well just to let you all know the 275's did fit with no issues, no rub

 

we know

 

i was wondering with it being as low as it is, just letting the lowered guys know

 

Looks awesome man. It really sets the car off.

 

Glad to hear it, bro.

 

Looks very nice.. although I gotta say I'm a bit jealous! pics are dated Dec 10th where you are, but here I've got 2+ feet of snow on the ground!

 

it didnt get very cold here at all this winter.

 

I'm gonna be running a similar setup on my Z28 soon, same 17x9.5" wheels, same 2" spacers, but not decided on the tire size yet. I know 275's will fit but I was considering 265's front/rear. Got any new pics of the setup with 275's? I'm wondering how flush the tire will be against the lip of the fenders.

 

not as of yet, but will be getting some once i get it out today. and on the weather i am in ga and it has been really warm this winter

 

Sits pretty flush to me
