Re: my new chrome z06 wheels
out of all the 4th Gen F-body / Vett Rims the new Z06 wheels are the best on thirdgens.
Very nice bro.

Re: my new chrome z06 wheels
i done a bit of research in my case 17" are the largest crager ss and for your question you can put 20" on a stock camaro it just depends on the width of your rim and the tire

Re: my new chrome z06 wheels
i see people left and right with 18's.. so i doubt there's any mod's needed there.. but i KNOW up front you can run as much as 9.6 width without rubbing.. least that's what les schwab and rim tyme told me

Re: my new chrome z06 wheels
Looks really good. I like the staggered look with the cowl hood.
You might think about removing the door moldings or at least taking them off to spray back to white, they look yellow in the pictures.

Re: my new chrome z06 wheels
Just wondering what you are running for tire sizes and what you used for spacers because I wanna run this same setup, also do your rear tires clear the inside fender lip? thanks

Re: my new chrome z06 wheels
on the rear i'm running 295/35/R18 and on the front 265/40/R17 i have 2" spacers on the rear and 2.25" on the front the rear doesn't clear the fender lip that good so i'm having the spacers machined down to 1.75"

Re: my new chrome z06 wheels
theres no rubbing in the front at all with 2.25" spacer with the 2" ones it will rub the tie rod end with a 56mm backspacing.. i got em from this place.. http://stores.ebay.com/O-E-Wheels i would suggest calling them they are really friendly and give you more options than whats listed on there auctions.. shipping was fast and i had the tires mounted and balanced so they was ready to just bolt on to my car when the ups guy showed up..
hope this help

Re: my new chrome z06 wheels
he's running 2" up front and 2.25 in the rear. but said it needs shaved down to 1.75 (would 2" work on the back instead of 1.75"?) I am thinking of using th eregular c6 5 spoke rims and already have 4 2" spacers

Re: my new chrome z06 wheels
