Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
I want to steal yuor exact setup. Minus the rivets in the wheels. What size wheels do you have(front and rear)? Also did you have to modify anthing for them to fit? Also what size spacers did you use?
One more question. What size drop is that and are those the eibach sportline springs? Do you have a down the side picture that shows a better pic of the stance?

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!

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
can recommend the tyre sizes. Fronts only rub evey so slightly on full lock and the rears fill the wells well. Straight rear shot is just plain mean!
Mine needed ever so slight messaging on the rear well bottoms and should I lower the rear more I'll probably get the arch lips rolled.
I've got pirelli p-zeros on the rears; not sure if its the tyre compound or tyre size (or perhaps both) - but def. an increase in road noise!
good luck to you

Rears Corvette ZR1's 17x11 /295zr40 And 3in spacers ,
Nead 2 and 1/4 spacers.
But now have decided to go a different route
Thats why the fronts are not on.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Just got them on and snapped some quick pics. 245/40-18 on the front with a 2" spacer, 285/30-19 on the rear with a 2.25" spacer. I think I could have gotten away with a little thicker on the rear, maybe a 2.5" but it looks good. I think lowering my car would bring it all together and make it look sweet.
The old wheels were the 16" American Racing IROC wheels, originally $195/pc from summit. I would sell them for 500 for the whole set if anyone is interested. They are immaculate except one of them has maybe a 1/2 centimeter curb rash spot on the lip. Pics available upon request.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
I'm probably repeating this question but I just wanna make sure i'm hearing it right that if I would want to run 18x9.5 up front and 19x10 in the back all I would need is 3" spacers all around and no other modifications to the wheel wells or anything? My suspension is completely stock and i'm running a stock 3rd gen rear. I hope i'm not making anybody angry but I just wanna double and triple check before I go droppin a bunch of money on wheels, tires, and spacers.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
required spacer width would also depend on the backspacing (or offset) of the wheels you purchased.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
well i was gonna get some stock vette wheels so whatever the backspacing and offset is for them and what size wheels can i go with so that i don't have to roll the fenders. i knew i was gonna have to run spacers but i don't wanna have to roll the fenders or any of that other good stuff.

How do i upload a picture?
I put 18x9.5 C6 ZO6 Wheels on the front and rear of my car with 245/40 tires. Love the set up, and so does everyone else. 2" Spacers all the way around also, could use about a 1/4" More in the front as its close to the inner fender at full crank. My car definitely needs to be lowered an inch or two for sure though.

The only definitive answer you are going to get is by mocking up your new wheels where you want them and measuring back to the hub. Everyone's setup is different so what works for one may not work for others. Measure that and then order spacers accordingly.

Alternatively you can upload your pictures to a image hosting website (photobucket, etc.) I personally use www.imageshack.us. Then make sure you copy the link to the the actual picture (the link should end with .jpg or what ever extension your picture is.) When making a post you will see a little icon at the top of the text box that looks like some mountains and a sun. Click that and enter the URL and you're done!

Boreen,
I'd like to see your car setup/pictures. I am in the process of ordering C6 wheels and am debating wheel/tire size. I won't have to run spacers in the rear because I have a 4th gen rear end I will be installing. Let me know, thanks in advance!

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Here's a few pics with the CLS rear springs, pics with the Eibachs are gonna take a while to photo-shop because they were taken at night and came out like crap... After my PHB comes in I think I may just keep the CLS springs and cut a coil to get my drop back... They ride amazingly well and feel ten times smoother (and oddly stiffer) then the Eibachs...
Pardon the filth:
I'm not a fan of how far the rear wheels stick out, bringing them in a half an inch should do the trick...

That tucks tire way too far inward. Even the 2" tucks it too far in my opinion, but it maintains closer to factory scrub radius so whatever. If I were to buy again I'd pick up a 2.25" for front c6 wheels.

Personally, I wasnt about to roll and stretch the fenders on a car with less than 10K miles.
18x8.5 up front with 6.5" backspace, also with a 2.25" spacer.. a 2" would probably be better.... depends on your front brake setup.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
I set up my B4C with 19x10 rears to check for fitment.. 2.25" spacer on a rim with 8" backspacing. Seems to clear everything.. tire size would dictate how much "massaging" it would take to get them to clear on a lowered car.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Fitment might be ok. And setting it up just right I can see it working. But that first bump you hit will tell you everything you need to know. Either shred your tire or mangle your fender. Just be carefull. I know my tires peeled with my original shock and springs before I lowered it and put the adjustables on.
I sold the wheels to a friend who will install them on his 55 chevy truck
