Hey guys, whats goin on? I picked up some ZO6 wheels at the GM nationals in Carlisle PA. They are 17x9 1/2 with the 54mm offset with 275/40/r17's on all four. I have done some checking around and i know i need spacers but i dont know exactly which ones to get. People seem to recommend the 2 inch or the 2 1/4 inch spacers on all four wheels. I just want to make sure i get the right ones. They're going to go on a 91 Camaro RS. Im looking to have the tires come pretty close to the edge of the fenderwell. I was concerned about the 2 1/4 inch spacers making the tires stick out too far, And do i use the same spacers in the rear as i use in the front?

Just some info and some pics would be helpful

THANKS!

 

I just put a set of replica c6 vette rims on my 86 iroc z and used the 2 1/4 in spacers and they fit great. They stick out alittle bit more than stock but look awesome. The rims are 17x9.5 with a 56 mm backspace and im running 275 tires on all 4 corners. They fit perfect and only rub slightly at full lock, but no big deal. I havent took pics of my car since putting on the new rims but i should have pics tomorow and will post them for u to see if u like.

 

Thanks, if you could do that i would really appreciate it.

 

I just posted the pics, here is the link to the thread tell me what u think.

I got my spacers on the other day. the wheels fit great and they hardly rub. i like it. ill post some pics as soon as i can figure out how.

 

just put smaller tires on the front 245/45's should do away with the rub

 

As I respnoded to another post, If the 17x9.5 wheels have 54mm offset, use a 2" adapter along with an 1/8" spacer (if you have the factory front brakes),, or use a 1.75" adapter with 1/8" spacer if you have 1LE front brakes),, this will minimize how much the wheel sticks out past the fender and will not rub the tire-rod.

I did a 1LE upgrade on the front end, I am using a 1.75" adapter with 1/8" spacer having 54mm offset 4th gen SS wheels.

On the rear, use a 1.75" of 2.0" spacer. I am using a 2.00" adapter having 58mm offset 18x10.5 wheels.

 

You'll need 2 1/4" with 17 x 9.5 +56mm wheels, trust me I know. I tried 2" on the front, nope, had to order a set of 2 1/4", the tierods just miss the rim by a few hairs.

Doc, 17x 9.5 wheels are available in different offsets, each requiring a different width spacer. And your 18" setup info is of no use to those with 17" wheels.

I would personally not trust using more than one spacer on a wheel at a time. Although it may or may not be ok

 

2 1/4" makes the fronts flush with the rears.

 

I finally figured out how to post pics. here are a few. ill put some more up later on after i clean it up a bit.

 

Looking good im glad i could help u out.
Nice ride

 

I am glad you posted these pics, have been thinking about puting these on my car inplace of the zr1's, I hadnt seen any maroon cars with them on....... I am still in the air

 

I did see another car on this forum with the ZO6 wheels on it, thats what got me to like them so much, plus i got a pretty good buy on mine. i prefer the ZO6 wheels but the ZR1 wheels look great also.
