i've been doing some lookin around on the net and i found a site that claims you can fit a 17x11 rim and a 315 tire on the back of a 3rd gen with the use of a 2" spacer. i was just wondering if anybody has done or tried this and how it went or looks

 

thier are a few on the site that have done i t, most notably is lbsblown , i dont think thats his whole sn but it will work if you search .

 

it is possible my friend who has a car just like mine just drop top and he has an 89 GTA and he has them on his the only thing he had to do was cut alittle bit of the bump stop but not enough that it hurts anything. and it looks really good i cant wait to do it to my car.

 

with some work and the proper spacing, you can fit 315 all around. LOL thats what i want to do someday.

anyway, i am not sure if you can get a 315 to fit with out doing any work to the fenders or wheel wells.


the 2inch spacer is for the 50mm offset rims. i hear that the 36 or 38mm offset grand sport corvette rims only need a 1.5inch spacer or so, possibly smaller

 

it's encouraging to know some people have done it. this is the site i went to....

Look at Picture in Signature. A ( good ) friends 17x11"s CCW's with 315\35x17" Kumho VictoRacer's.....frt and rear.

So yes it can be done.....but it ain't cheap!!

 

i imagine the tires would be pretty pricey, how much was it when it was all done?

 

camaro - yes, 2" spacer...

beaware that there is two different back spaces availiable for the rear 17x11 wheels - one is 36mm and the other is 50mm ofset... the lesser offset needs less of a spacer...

however, if you have a firebird, be aware that i have found that between the outside fenderwells, the firebirds are a total of at least 2 inches narrower than camaros...
