For those with IROC wheels on their v6...

I dont know if this is just my car, but have any you guys ever had a chance to compare your V6 with IROC wheels to a real IROC or Z28. Ever notice how your sixer's wheels are kinda more in the fender than the eight's wheels? I've done a direct comparason and the eight's got about an inch wider in track in both the front and rear. These IROC wheels came off an 88 IROC and are in perfect condition. Are there any wheels spacers that Chevy added on the Z's and IROC's that they didnt to our sixers? Just a thought! Thanks fellas.

I'm not sure on how thick it is. It's pretty thin on my Formula. Do a search on Aluminum vs. Iron drums on this site. That should tell you the difference in thickness.


Maybe 3/16's on an inch, something like that.
