Need help BAD! :Wheels:

I need a set of wheels, but I dont want to run them with spacers.

I was thinkin either a 10in wide wheel or 9.5 in the back, but I dont want the wheel to stick out of the fender. I was also thinking of running 26.5in tires.

I want zr1s but I hear they dont make them with 3rd gen backspacings.

So I was thinking of getting the centerline auto drag wheels. but i hear those are for straight line only, and my 3rd gen is a daily driver.

PLEASE HELP! I dont know what wheels to run, and how wide! I either what a black with chrome lip wheel, or all polished wheel. nothing satin or anything.

I am also interested in the BBS-like wheels. I just cant find wheels to fit third gens w/o spacers. someone help please!!!

- Im desperate!

you can get these from slp http://www.slponline.com/view_produc...00&BIG=81000-1
but theyre only 8 wide, what rear end do you have in your car? now could be a good time to upgrade to one from a 4th gen, or a 12 bolt or 9 inch thats wider, then you could run a stock zr1 without a spacer

they arent too bad price wise, i think ive seen a whole one go for 5 or 600. you dont get just the wider rear end, you get better brakes, posi, stronger axles, better gears

If you subscribe to say super chevy, there are a ton of adds in there for rims that will fit our cars. You want anything that is 8 to 9.5" wide for easy fitment. Check out EBAY. Spacers are no big deal either. Less than 100 bucks a pair. Also on EBAY.

Once you know where to look you will notice you have WAY more optios than you might have ever imagined.
