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?

 

BTW my car is the exact same color without the stripes on the hood. I have the little vents.

 

18 by 10.5 in rear with 305's and 17 by 9.5 with 275,s and I have sportlines. I have some pics but they won't load from my phone. I have 2.5in up front and 2in in the rear as for spacers. The fronts don't need to be that wide but wouldn't go to much less. I have qa1 adjustable shocks in rear. And agx adjustables struts up front.

 

cool. you didnt have to modify the fenders at all?

 

Nope, not yet I need to roll the fender lip and my tires show it but I haven't yet

 

Oh ok. Hopefully I will have everything I need soon.

 

Looking at a set of these locally & was thinking same tire combo.

 

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.

 

Here are some updated pictures... Nothing special just angle shots in my driveway.

Man that combo is SWEET!!! Ive been looking for new wheels for my 89 and DAMN! just a heads up i might have to steal them

 

I am sold on vette wheels for sure.

 

 

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.

 

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.

 

False, you would have to at minimum roll your renders probably pull them also. I'm running 18by10.5 and mine need rolled. 19's would be a bit much. And I'm running smaller spacers shouldn't need 3in.

 

required spacer width would also depend on the backspacing (or offset) of the wheels you purchased.

 

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.

 

Click "Go Advanced" below and then lower on the page click "Manage Attachments" and upload the ones you want to use.

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.)

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!
Ryan

 

Sexy car you've got there....

 

Here's an "after" pic. Same wheels painted with Duplicolor wheel paint, graphite with clear top coat.

 

Here is mine with some zr1's

 

just picked up a set of C6 rims for $400 and a set of 4 2"adapters for 120. i know ill need more then 2" for the rear's but we'll see what happens probly get a two 1/4 inch spacers to run on top of the adapters but anyways heres a pic of one of my new rims, just need to get some tires n put em on the car n ill have somepics up.

 

I used 2" on the rear of my 89. Works just fine, no issues.

 

wow, that came out nice!!!
is that the after pic of the car also?!?!

looking good

 

These have been on the local Craigslist for a couple of weeks now. $400 for the set of four. Also, here's the link if your interested: http://charleston.craigslist.org/pts/2769169234.html

 

Yes it is, and

 

Looks great! Love the door handles btw, what are they from?

 

Mid 90s Cadillac, rear doors. Lots of mid 90s GM big cars has these handles. The front door handles has the key hole in them.

 

Hey C-Titan, do you think maybe we could get a side pic of this car? These pics don't really show off the wheels very well. I want to put these wheels on my car too. I'm looking at going with 18" wheels w/ the gunmetal centers to accommodate a big brake kit. The one's I was looking at appear to be quite a bit more deep dish than yours. http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...els-Gunmetal_3

 

how wide are youre are rear's?

 

Just got my C5's installed this weekend.

17" front: 18" rear

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

damn, your maro is clean, normally i don't like smoked lights but yours look good.

heres my rs with c4 zr1s. With the fourth gen axle they are pretty much flush with the fender lip.17x11 rear, 17x9.5 front with 2.25 inch spacer.

Thanks man, yours is looking good too.

 

heres a pic of mine still need the spacers though :/

 

Is anyone running the LS1 brake upgrade and C6 rims?
What size spacers/adapters in the front did you use?

 

you will need 2in front spacers

 

According to everyone else on this post 2" was used for stock suspension.
The LS1 brake upgrade, due to the relocation of the rotor has moved my wheels out 3/8" (rotor hat thickness). Therefore wouldn't a 1.5" to 1 5/8" be a better fit?

 

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.

 

Ed1LE,

Love the door handle mod. How do you lock and unlock your car though?

 

Nice.... spacers, tire sizes and what modifications to install?

 

Looks nice Vistageek92. Is that Flame Red or a non-stock color? I love the wheels.

 

Sorry guys havent been on here in a while, too busy building my downhill mt bike lol

You wont regret it.

thanks
Its so much easier to clean these vs chrome,

 

Z28FAST1, love your car. It's my wallpaper on my work computer. Do you have a build thread? Would love to see more about it!

 

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.

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.

 

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.

 

Hence why I said I wasnt about to molest a 10K original car.

I sold the wheels to a friend who will install them on his 55 chevy truck
