Re: Corvette wheels, 2" spacers, 4th gen rear end

I'm interested in the wheels and spacers.
What are the widths?
Any curb rash, beyond what is the the pictures?
If you don't mind, why are you getting rid of them?

Hey Eric how's the Camaro? I would have to look at them again but I know there's no chunks missing or any big dints or gashes. The paint is flat and ugly. All 4 are 10 1/2" wide. I actually sold my firebird yesterday and for what he gave me, I got to keep the wheels, spacers and the rear end.

Camaro's running great.
flat Black? I like it.
I'm thinking about a front brake upgrade and that probably means bigger wheels too.
How did these fit on your car with the spacers? Especially in front?

They could use a repaint ha-ha
It's a slight press fit getting the wheels on the spacers inner lip which the lugs nuts press it down. The backs fit perfect, on the front I ground I bit off the sender of the hub ( the ugly thing that pops out of the front hubs) so the spacers sit flat. I think the shitzone hubs I bought were longer than stock. I only had rubbing issues up front only if I made a really sharp turn. It cleared the tie rods just fine

Paint is easy. Especially flat black.
Did it rub on the inner fender in front? Anywhere else?

Yes it rubbed there a bit on tight turns but normal driving and turns, it didn't rub at all

Re: Corvette wheels, 2" spacers, 4th gen rear end

Sounds like they will work.
Do you ever get into town?
Pasadena is a long way from Conroe...

I thought you lived in Stafford or is that where your shop is at?
I live in tomball now. Off of 249. I meet you half way or bring them to you once traffic isn't hectic.

Tomball? That is MUCH closer!
I moved out to Conroe about a year ago.
