They'll work with $200 in adapters. What kind of deal can you get on them, and how much could you give them to me for? Which style are tehy (what year/trim) and how are the tires?

they are the like...01 or 02 style..looks like a bunch of bars welded togther kinda...cool *** rims still tho. The tires looks like new,over80% tread id say. Id be hapopy to spend $200 on adapters if i get this deal on em. Where do i need to go to get the adapters? just on the rear or do i have to space the frts too? thanks!

Front and rear. Could probably find adapters for quite a bit less than that on ebay. I actually got a pair of them for $60 off someone a while back. Skulte adapters are the expensive ones that most people prefer, but the ones I use are good too. Don't know brand of mine.

I have a 4th gen rear so I only needed the spacers for the front.

C5 essentially = 4th gen f-body rims.

2" adapters.

2" or 2.25" fronts, 1.75, 2", 2.25" rears.. whatever you wanna use grasshoppa.

personally I'm runnin' 2" fronts and a 4thgen rear which is 3" wider overall compared to a 3rdgen rear (correct me if i'm wrong on the rear widths').

check www.skulte.com for more info.

If I could do it over I'd get 2.25" front spacers..
