I have been looking at some gunmetal C5 wheels(cheap) and want to wrap them in 275 meat all the way around, i will probably use a 4th gen rearend and 2 inch spacers up front on my 86 TA, i want to know how it will fit up front, i know the back should be fine, any idea on how well it will clear?

 

Nobody know??? I would love to have 9.5 wide with 275 tire in the front.

 

Here is my car with 17x9.5 ZR1s. They are on a 2" spacer in the front and a 4th gen rear on the back...

 

Go to my Garage. I got a 86 with 92 Ronal R15/Firehawks. 17x9.5, fronts have a built on slim spacer, tires are Falken Ziex ZE-512 275-45-17....no issues, lookk and handle great.

 

Awsome, thanks guys, 91_5.7_TPI your car looks sick, super clean man nice job.

 

nice!

 

hey 91_5.7_TPI is yours lowered at all? do they rub at all now? I was thinking about c5 z06's on my vert but I have 1.8" (I think may be 1.6") drop spindles going on. It will have new struts and shocks and springs though.

 

thanks guys. I need to take some better pictures. Mine is lowered on a Pro-Kit (see signature). It rubs on the left front when I turn the wheel locked left. It's not bad, but it's enough for me to not turn the wheel to lock unless I have to.

 

pro kit is comparable to the drop I will have so I guess I will be in store for the same. is there anyway to clearence it? If you can please get some pics of it turned all the way left and right.

also what offset are the zr1's? skulte has the gs zr1's and high and low offset zr1's listed I am not to familiar with them.

 

Yea, I'll get some tommorow after work if I get off in time to do that and change the oil in the van. It is just rubbing on the plastic piece in the wheel well.

 

thanks that sounds like it should be an easy fix. I wanted to use the c6 five spokes but if these are 17x9.5" and they rub the c6's may be more of a pita than they are worth.

 

I don't think that a larger wheel will affect the fitment. What I'm trying to say is that the overall outside diameter of the wheel/tire should be very close and the width of the tire should be the exact same. I don't know for sure though.
Here are the pictures you asked for.
