I will be going with a 2.50" spacer in the rear and putting the 2.25" in the front. I will have a set of 2" spacers to sell. I hope to get it lowered by next week. The front wheel gap is a bit big for me. Here is what it looks like.

I'm sorry to quote Paris Hilton,



but

That's hot

 

Thank's. Never throught I would put 19's in the back and 18's in the front but it was a good deal so I couldn't say no.

Phil

 

oh wow!!!....that looks awesome....Its gonna look so much nicer after u lower it

 

How about re hosting them. Got nothing but empty boxes.

 

Hey Sam, I've got some c6 also I'm mounting soon on my '88 Bird but was doing the 2" front 2" back adapters, is the 2 1/4" & 2 1/2" a better fit. What tires u runnin. Later.

 

i'm getting no pics?

18/19 combo does look good on these cars, especially if you match the sidewalls on the tires. 285/35 rear and 245 or 255/40's up front look better than my 295/30 rears. But other than that these cars look good with larger than 17 inch rims and less than 21's

surprised you went with a large 2.25" spacer up front, i'm using a 1.7 and it clears fine? with my brake swap it will push it out .3" or so to make it a 2 inch spacer overall however

 

 

 

Sorry guys. Did some changes in the photobucket account and they were changed. Here are some new ones.









Phil

 

wow!!!! that looks very good! I think i'm gonna get a TA now for a second car to play with. That just looks sooo good

 

I looked all over for an IROC or a Z-28 and couldn't find one that I wanted so I picked this up. I am glad I did because I like the looks of it better. Thank's

Phil

 

That is sweeeet.

 

what was the price tag on those?? I am trying to get some C6 Z06 ones on mine but too expensive.

 

A friend of mine has a C6 and he bought the ZO6 rims and new tires for his vette. I bought his C6 rims with Goodyear eagle F1 run flats on them for $1000. The tires have 5000 miles on them. 245-40/18 in the front and 285-35/19 in the rear. Got to drive it today and they hold the road very well. Front tires touch the inner fender a little at full lock but I can fix that.

Phil

 

Then I might be out of luck if I ever get the ones I want, since my 16 inch IROC rims already rub the inner fender a little too, but I think it is because on almost 80,000 miles on stock suspension the car is sitting too low, plus the wide a$$ tire that the previous owner put on there helps it too.

 

how often are you at full lock tho? i'm never really there

 

You are right, I am almost never there, but if I ever get them, I will have to tell my girl not to turn it all the way, cuz most of the tires wear is from her, since we both drive the car. I forgot to say that your car looks sexy!!! and here is a pic of the ones I want, one by itself and one on the car.

 

This is a pic of the vette with the ZO6 rims on it. He is painting the zO6 fenders as we speek to cover the monster tires. If you get the rims you will have to do some body work to the rear. They have a 325-30/19 tire and it will stick out of the fender well. I don't know if you would be able to get the front rims to work. They use a 275-40/18 tire and with the spacer you would need to make then clear the strut they would stick out as well. I don't think you would be able to turn them very much with out doing some serious body work to the front fenders.



Phil

 

Are you using C6 wheels off a corvette or are you using the look alike C6 wheels you can buy at the tire places? If you are using the real C6 wheels you can use a 2" spacer in the front but I didn't like how it looked so I got a set of 2.25" spacers to get them a little further out. In the rear you won't be able to use a 2" spacer at all. You won't be able to bolt the wheels on. They will hit the front part of the inner fender. You will have to use at least a 2.50" spacer to get them to clear and still have a little room to move side to side. I have about 1/4" of space between the inside of the tire and the inner fender. Last thing I wanted to do was cut the sidewall of a $450 tire because it rubed.

Phil

 

Those wheels look awesome,good price too.

 

is that a 19 inch rear wheel? 2.5 spacer is needed for those. i went with 4th gen rear and a .625 spacer for mine

i have a 18x8.5 up front with 1.7 spacer and it clears fine. 255/40 tires lock to lock clears but its very close

 

Car looks sweet! Glad the advice worked out for ya.

 

that was the next question I was gonna ask, because I was planning to go pick up the whole axle from a 97 camaro that is in the local P'NP that has POSI and 3.27 gears, so thanks for the info beforehand.

 

Samdweezel05 does that mean u got a set of 2" adapters for sale . . Later.

 

Your advise worked perfect. Thank's for answering all my questions.

Phil

 

I have got some factory C6 wheels. Is the advice for spacers to go with
2.25" in front and 2.50" in the rear?

Nice looking car BTW.

 

nicely done!

 

Yeah, I go and repaint the ZR1s instad of getting C6s and you show me this!!!
Looks sweet. Really like the car.

 

looks great

I thought about getting the black C6 but without big brakes it just dosnt look right to me. I wish they made them with 3rd gen offset, I hate spacers...

 

Looks friggin sweet!!!

 

A lame excuse for me to post a picture of my "Vetruck"
http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_i...0171_large.jpg

 

That is sweet! I can only imagine what they would look like on my red 87 IROC. I was going to get those wheels for my C4 roadster but got the Y2ks instead. These would be a nice change. Of course I would still keep the original IROC rims since they are in great shape.

 

Hmmmm.. not bad. Looks good!

 

Hey with my rear end it's a 3.42 disc breaks all the way around. Would I have any issues with 19inch in the rear? I want to put c6 rims on my Camaro but I wanna do 18 inch rims all the way around

 

less-taller adapters in the front reduce the tire rub against the rear part of the plastic inner fender. even a 1/4" less will have significant effect.

speaking from experience...

 

Looks good
