has anyone ever done this swap before the rears fit fine but there is a small clearance issue with the steering arm
was wondering if anyone knoes a fix for this problem
will a wheel spacer fix it just wondering before i buy them

 

yeah, lots of people have done this. Spacers are needed. I'm running 2" spacers over ls1 front and rear brakes with 17x9s.

 

wheel spacers will fix it.........i will be selling my y2k c5 rims, off the GTA, once i find some 92 Gold GTA wheels, knock off, or similar style, in a 17-18.....could sell with spacers if interested.

 

so do i need spacers or adapters thanks alot guy's i had no idea

 

spacers

 

will this afect anything in a bad way or is it a decent upgrade

 

^
those are what mine look like on the GTA

 

we have the same car and hood but mine is a darker red nice car man like it

 

Thanks, once you get some wheels, you should post up some pics in the appearance section. Always love to see another new bird around!

but as far as affecting anything, I think they are great. I had 16's before, and these feel like twice the handling power. Rides about the same.

 

will do and thanks will prob get the wheels this weekend is a set of 4 1995 formula wheels with 245-50-16 toyo tires 90%tread for 300.00 a good deal or are these wheels cheap

 

hey for wheels and tires, thats not a bad deal. Are they the 5 spokes or the 3 spoke curvy looking ones?

 

5 spoke

 

hey pure xs will you sell just the spacers

 

possibly.........................this is the car before i bought it......

 

how much and when

 

not sure yet, and once i get my wheel situation figured out. cant give an exact date...sorry

 

Here are some pictures of my 4th gen wheels. I just installed a complete 4th gen rear suspension and 2" wheel spacers in the fronts. Theyre kinda dark but I think theyll do. Oh yeah, dont laugh at my dirty wheels, they sat for 3 months.

 

and here are a few more... and one of the car they came off of(I wrecked that one)

 

hey, do you have any pics showing how far out your rear wheels sit? Looks good, I'm just curious.

 

hope this helps a little. Its all I got.

 

thats more or less what I was wondering. I was just curious how far they stuck out compared to a 3rd gen rear with 2 inch spacers.

 

I think they look fine. It doesnt look like they stick out a whole lot. Maybe a little more in the front

 

while some people use the term interchangeably, technically, you need adapters.

spacers slip on.

adapters bolt on.



but you'll find commonly people interchange the terms anyway.. just like some people call a flexplate a flywheel.

 

will 1.75's work

 

yea, but most late model GM rims will tuck in a quarter of an inch.
