Mind checking my math?
Hey guys, first post, but have been reading a good bit. Id like to post what i think will work and invite yall to let me know if i'm incorrect.
1986 Iroc
camaro tech states a 17x9.5 with a +10mm offeset front and rear will fit with a 275/40 tire.
id like to use a 17x9.5 rep c7 z06
wheel with a +54 offset. A 1.75-2" spacer should put the wheel back to the specified +10.
as of now running oe brakes front and rear, factory ride height. I intend to run zl1 brakes up front and 4th gen in the rear. Coilovers, and bmr a arms.
thoughts on this set up? Am i missing anything?

Glancing over it real quick it looks good. ....remember you can always adjust the adapter size that you buy a quarter inch here and there, it's when you don't have enough to begin with and wheels stick out! Yeah, 44 mm looks like 1.75" from what I can tell. I know coilovers have been known to cause some clearance issues here and there, and on our cars (speaking from reading, not experience) offer a negligible advantage if any at all, and can often cause problems.

ZL1 brakes probably require at least a 18" diameter wheel. I would dig in deeper on that topic if I were in your shoes.

i certainly will. Thanks for the feedback. Im not dead set on them, but a used set of brembo calipers for 400$ is really attractive compared to some house brand kits ive seen.
