New pics of my 90 formula with the vette wheels. much better pics then the previous ones i posted let me know what yall think

it really needs to be lower but thats coming next

 

one more

 

it looks low enough to me.

 

the fronts a little high since the fronts are 18's makes it look higher

 

the new c6s all shiny and ready to go. all feedback is welcome!

 

Looks great man!

 

17x 9.5 all around Black C6 rims

 

Will 18x 10.5 with a fourth gen rearend have any issues? Im thinking of getting the zo6 wheels from oewheels but wanna do 17x9.5 in front and 18x10.5 in rear but dnt know if they will be issues

 

Hey Rob, those are the same as the ones I used to have. They should fit fine with the fourth gen rear. U might have issues with the fender. But rolling the fender a bit would take care of that

 

heres my 18x8.5 fronts and 19x10 for the rear, the one pic is just sitting the the wheel well the others are just a comparison of the two between the vette spyder wheel and stock iroc rear

 

Yeah man but i think its the little bit newer style zo6 wheel from the c6 i think. But the think is that i put the lowering springs on it but i think i wont have issues lol i hope

 

the c6 z06 are 19x12.. no way those will fit without some kind of mini tub. i searched around before. but i dont think oewheels has them in that size. my c5 z06's were 17x9.5 and 18x10.5. if you stick to that size im sure they are going to fit. just make sure they are for the 4th gen offset.

 

Yeah ur right cuz it rubbs in the back when i go threw deep bump at a good speed but thats becuz i have the original wheels on there . Some vette wheels should hopefully tuck them in

 

So the bigger the backspacing the more tucked it will sit?

 

Test fitting them. I likey

 

that iroc looks sick with them black wheels ima have to steal your idea but chang it up abit

 

my 87 firebird formula

 

mike 2215 loving the white on chrome

 

Thanks alot man,I was thinking about doing them in powder coat gray but then when I saw them on the car I relized that white on chrome looks pretty BA IMO

 

ya keep it looks flawless i like the grey on red

 

Here is my 87 IROC with 17" C5 deep dish rims. I just also installed Moog replacement springs and I need to take it apart and cut the springs some to get the ride height down a little.

 

 

These are a couple pics i have would recommend getting 2.5' rear spacers and 2' front spacers will not rub at all. and i know my car needs work haha

 

Hey man whats up ive seen ur car around town here looks nice with those wheels

 

^^^so sexy. I love c6z rims.
If only i had the money... yea because i dont say that enough

 

Thanks man took a few weeks of saving haha but well worth it, so what days do yall cruise around town? Oh btw my wheel sizes are 18x8.5 front and 19x10s out back with kumho ecsta spt's all around

 

Manuel, what size tires are you running?



Anyone have, or have pictures of the C6 deep dish on a thirdgen? Preferrably a maro with 18"+, but I will take what I can get.

 

Idnt no man usually i just go out for a cruise usually on saturdays or sundays still tempting to hit the track just still need somethings to tweek up

 

That's awesome I wanna drop mine a lil tho making it a handling car got the majority down just need sfc's and grngry I got 18x8.5 up front and 19x10 out back n I think my tires are 285/35/19 and 245/40/18 n kumho ecsta spts all around for a nice smooth ride.

 

What does grngry mean?

 

Oh I was replying to grngryoutmyway above haha

 

Oh, okay. I thought it was some kind of new slang! lol

 

I might have to get a set of these

 

I just did the lowering springs on mine and sumtimes rubbs the rear tires going threw hard bumps at a decent speed (over the speed limit that is) lol but it does that cuz i have a 4th gen rear end so hopefully when i get my vette wheels it should tuck the wheels in so they wont rubb

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

17x9.5 fronts with 275/40/17 Khumos and 17x11 rears with 285/40/17 Khumos

 

19/18 08 C6 wheels mocked up on the 92 GTA.

 

ace, what color blue is your car? do you have any more pictures?

 

Exactly where mine came from... The pics on their site are a bit deceiving when it comes to the depth of the Lip... By No means would I personally consider them "deep dish", but they do have a nice lip... Here's a few pics, hopefully these give you a better idea...

 

Wow Chris, that was over two years ago that you posted the first pics. I had almost given up on you. LOL. Those pics are much better though. Thanks!

 

2 years now?? Damn... Hadn't even realized i've had them for that long... haha

I have to get some newer Pics up; the Rear has since been tucked better inside the wheel wells... Nice cleaner - meaner-er look...

 

Haha. Time flies!

Definitely give us some new pics please

 

Wow, same here. Didnt think about it. Mine settled nice wish she was a little lower in the rear but it rides/handles amazing.

 

Chris, buddy. I have followed you for a while...but I have to say.. this car in my mind is everything a 90-92 Z28 should be. Absolutely beautiful car.

 

^ I have those same rims in black and while i love em I kinda joke at the idea of them being "deep dish" they have a small lip. Then again I have the 17x9.5 size maybe if they were 18x11 or something biger then what I have they would be deep dish.

 

C-titan those r the exact same wheels i want for my thirdgen. What are the specs of the wheels and tires. I have a fourth gen rear end on mine with lowering springs all around and with the third gen wheels and also it scraps the rear right tire when i go threw hard bumps. I just wanna get the right set up so they wont stick out to much or have any rubbing issues

 

Sounds like you need an adjustable panhard bar out back to get that rearend centered back up under the car with the lowering springs before you do anything. Just my two cents.

 

^^^^Agreed



No doubt, car is getting the lip and a couple other chips touched up right now - should have it back soon... I'll be on it



Nothing a lil time\elbow grease won't fix! I love how my car handles, even with its solid axle... I'm able to take corners at more speed and deeper then my S2000, which is saying something... 2 friends and myself were caught in a snow storm up in the mountains; winding roads - up and down hills - and somehow it stuck and made it to our Emergency stop 20 miles away (still in the mountains) without incident... Utterly AMAZING! S***, w/ my old 18's I couldnt even get the thing out of the garage in a light dusting... Then again, now we're talking 12" of Hankook tire maintaining grip... Yumm



Wow Vista, what can I say but Thank You!! I Absolutely appreciate your compliment, makes all the long nights in the garage worth it...


Thanks Again!!


BTW Absolutely Dig what you've done with your 84', nice work - beautiful car man... The Color combo w/ your wheels is Perfect, smooth look... I used to have one myself, T-Topped - Gunmetal Grey w/ Matching Wheels - Worked 327, T-5 w/ a sketcy 5th gear, 3.73 Gears - Pure nom nom nom nom... Loved that car...



I have the staggered 19"x10" w/ 18"x8.5" combo... If you're really trying to get the big lip look w/ the wheels I have, go with the All Chrome. Because of how they are painted, it deceives the eye a-bit...



The size's I typed above... Offset - the front is 35mm's w/ 1.75" Spacer running a 255/40/18 tire, no rubbing at all... The rear has 60+mm's of Offset, so with your 4th gen rear it's about a 1/4 of an inch to short, so a generic wheel spacer can take care of that if needed running a 285/40/19... The thing is, every tire company is different - some tires (even though they say the same numbers) tend to very in width... Example my Hankook 285's are over 12" wide, which doesnt exactly add up, but i'm not complaining - just keep that in mind... Every experience and set up is different...



::Let's deep Breath Out and Wipes Forehead:: Did I get everyone?? haha

 

Been reading this thread for over year now.. and i have gotten a chance to buy some 06 corvette rims from a friend of a friend... original c6 rims polished with tires for $500.. rear tire are shot but the fronts are good..
What want to know is, where do i get spacers/adapters and what size do i need to run these on my stock 88 firebird formula

 

The least loved of the Corvette wheels, but for the price and performance gains (grip at speed, and launch!) I couldn't pass up trying a set on my car.

Pic of my 83 355 powered sport coupe after the first clean up and wax of the season, sitting on the loathed C5 wagon wheels!
