did you have to do any kind of modifications to get them to fit, other than the spacers?

Here is my car wearing 18" by 9.5 polished Z06's. I also have C5 brakes up front too. Right now the car has the stock springs in it. Putting in a pro kit soon.

Mine isnt a Camaro, but I think you'll get the point. I have an 4th gen rear axle & 2" adapters up front!! Click the link.

I'd reccomend some aftermarket shocks with that too. I replaced my stockers with some OEMs, and then put on the ProKit. The springs killed the Monroes in about 6 months.

Im also gonna get a pro kit and lower the car a bit. But Im putting in Hooker 2210 longtubes and want to wait till there in before I lower it and lose too much ground clearance.

I see your front wheels stick out quite a bit, I remember that on mine.

What front spacers and brakes are you running? When I had my old 2.25" spacers on up front I had a few rubbing issues as well. When I upgraded to the C5 front brakes the rotor hat thickness was .3, so that spaced them out even further. I had some smaller spacers made, 1.7 now everything is perfect!

I am running 17X9.5's all the way around, I have a 4th gen rear and it didnt require any spacers out back. thats with 315 Nitto DR's in the back. Although the bumpstop needs worked. In the front I have C5 Z06 brakes, with a 2" spacer. since the brake conversion spaces the wheel out ~.3-.4" 1.6-1.7" spacers would make it tuck really nice, but right now its not terrible, they still tuck under the fender, barely. The rear is **** though! sorry you cant tell from the pics, wrong angle and low quality (camera phone). This was with no motor, and a fresh sportline kit. The car has settled much better in the front.
