I l'm running C5 Y2K's right now. 17x8.5, 18x9.5. Falken FK452's 245/45/17 and 275/40/18. I have 2" adapters all around.







I'm not to pleased with how they sit, I'm not a fan of the "battleship" look. So I'm thinking about running 3" adapters up front and 2.25" adapters in the rear to get them to sit flush.

 

Whoops , you are correct. I forgot that I sent my measurements to hawks and they sent me 2in for front and 1.5in for rear. Once I figured out they didn't work I moved the 2in to the rear and bought 2.5in for the front.

My mistake- I am running 18 x 10.5 +58mm offset with 2in spacer and 305 35zr18 and 17 x 9.5 +56mm offset with 2.5in spacer with 275 45zr17.

Sorry for the confusion

 

DBLTKE, i just bought same set but dif size: 17 x 8.5 all of them, they are aftermarket replicas...

do you think i could go 2" spacers all the way? or you think i could go another direction? what do you recommend?

 

Can we see some pics of your 18x12 and mini tub!!??

 

updated with 1.6'' drop in front and 1'' rear,
2.25'' spacers all around

Here's a couple of mine

 

Are those 18s rear and 17s front?

 

So should I NOT run Sportlines with an LT1 up front?

 

Most camaros weigh 3300-3400 stock. Im amazed his car is that heavy with the LS1. Seems like his car weighs as much as the average firebird.

I forgot to post mine in here LOL.. 17x9.5" +54 c5 Z06 wheels.

2.25" adapters up front, 2" in the rear.

 

Yes they are.

 

Cool thank you for your reply.

 

good looking camaro

 

I wanna know the color of this Bird.

 

Are you guys with the C6 wheels running factory "take offs" or replica wheels?

 

factory is probably better quality

 

I have replicas, because I didn't want 19" in the back.

 

mine are replica i think... i will sell them actually with brand new tires for cheap !

 

pm sent

 

mine are factory rims

 

I would also sell the complete Camaro if anybody is interested.

C6 wheels, rear disc brakes ( 3:56 rear 9 bolt ), all white ( NEW PAINT ), T tops, black leather, COLD AC, 5.0 ( 305 ) chevy.. good on milage, 2 inches lower, KYB II shocks, aluminum driveshaft ! and on and on !

17x9 275/40/17 HTR Z3s

BUT THENNNN!!!!




I loved them so much I had to put them on my Daily Driver!!! 245/40/17s HTR Z3s

 

I have a 4th gen rear in my 91 firebird. I am thinking about runnung 17x11 zr1s with 50mm offset. Will these bolt right up without any rubbing or will I need spacers? Thanks.

 

C6 Vette Wheels 18x10.5 rear and 17x8.5 front

 

Wow this car is sweet!!!

 

You stole my car! LOL, very nice

 

1991 Firebird, ZR1 Wheels with 2" spacers on Nankang 245/45/17.

 

I think I found my next set of wheels... Probably stick with 17 x 9.5's since they seem to fit my car pretty well. Thats a good price for wheel and tire combo from OE.

J.

 

at the track with the ZR1's

 

just got these today

18x9.5 and 18x11, now need to buy tires......

 

What are those? they look like Z06's that i have yet different. Either way though there gonna look killer!

 

they are ACE Slick in hyper black. Some call them Z07's. i had been wanting to get C6 Z06's but i never able to figure out which to go with (color/ size/ etc) when i saw these on SLP i fell in love! i got the on ebay for a great deal!!

 

More Pics please!

 

GTA running C6s. Standard 18/19s with 255s up front and 295s on rear. LS1 Brakes on front. 1 coil cut off of front and 1 1/2 coils off of rears. Moog springs. No isolators

Rear could do with another half coil and perhaps a slightly thicker tyre wall

Pics at my local sikh temple - enjoy!

 

Here is mine 18x9.5 deep dish c5 wheels!

 

thats a great looking color, love the hood also. great job!

 

325/30/19 19x11 79mm offset rear 2002 axle/20mm spacers and 275/30/19

19x9.5 front 57mm offset with 2 inch spacers

 

Wow your car is NICE!! How do those brakes feel?

 

havent really broke them in, just did the install using Kore3 settup. 1/4 pedal still feels night and day compared to the 10.2 inch stock 2 piston Z28 brakes.

 

Wow, those look really good!! i was looking at those rims before i pulled the trigger on the ACE's. What did u do to the rear, i was thinking 19x11's wouldnt fit?

here are a few phone pics of my new set up. ill take some better pics in the daytime.
18x9.5 275/35 18 18x11 305/35 MT drag radials. might need to go to a 1.75 adapter to tuck the rear in a bit more.

 

where can i get my hands on a set of rims like that?

 

Need some help. I am very picky on how I want my setup to come out.

Ok so I have a question or two. I have read this entire thread from page 1.

I have decided I want to go with these wheels.



And once I lower the car I want this exact stance. With the rear being about a half inch or so lower(want the ground fx to be perfectly parallel to the ground).



I'm wanting to go with 18X9.5's all the way around.

Now my problem is I'm gonna stay with the third gen rear end and I know I need spacers/adapters. I want the edge of the wheels to stick out just barely past the side of the fenders, but not past the fender flares(so basically right in the middle of the extended part).

I have read some are going with 2" all the way around and some are using 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear.

Does anyone know exactly what size I would need to achieve my goal or is this something I'm going to have to mock up and measure for the precise size?

Also when I lower it what type of setup should I go with. Car is just gonna be used as an everyday get around car/cruiser.

 

ok, think these are somewhat better shots....

 

Hope you have those fenders rolled. Mine like to eat tires!

 

The first pic you have is my car before sportlines were installed. That's with stock springs. My stance is amazing with sportlines.
