Figured I'd upload mine as well. It's a crappy cell phone pic but it's the only one I've got with the new wheels. 17" x 9.5" ZR1s with 2" spacers all the way around. Hoping to have this thing running again in the next couple months.

 

Best 3rd gen I have ever seen

 

Best looking Sport Coupe out there!

 

^^ Those wheels actually look really well on your car!

 

So I have heard 2 different stories. I have a stock 1990 iroc posi rear end disc 3.42.

Rims

Front 18 8.5. So 2" spacer in front
rear 19x10. 2.25" or 2.5" spacer in rear ?



Car isnt lowered all stock

 

correct thats what im using on mine

 

Okay kids, Call me stupid, hell I don't know - that's one of the things my X used to call me, but HEY, I NEED HELP WITH SPACER SIZES.

I have an 87 IROC.

I have come across a screaming deal on a set of C4 sawtooths in perfect shape. I know they aren't the most popular style out there, but I am on a budget and I GOTTA get some more rubber on the ground here. I've got Saturns jumping me off the line - well not that bad but close...

They are staggered 17x8.5 fronts and 17x9.5 rears. The setback on the rears is 7.5". I don't know the front, but it should be between 6.5" and 7".

I THINK I need 2" spacers all around but am not sure.

ALSO: I was planning on running the most tire I can get under the well in the rear without them sticking out. How big can I go? 315's, 285's?? I was planning on NITTO 05R's on the rear

I was planning on running 245 or 255's on the front NITTO 05's.

Help an old guy okay? What do I need for spacers? I'll share my geritol with anyone who can help. (If you don't know what geritol was, count yourself lucky).

Uh oh.... a present came in the mail on Monday...






Cannot wait to get these mounted on the car! Buying the spacers in a few days. I truly cannot believe the way these change the look of my car.

 

Good looking car, really starting to like those wheels. Is it lowered at all?

 

will a 18x10.5 be an issue for my rear? i have a 4th gen rear. also will a 275 fit in a 18x8.5 wheel?

 

18x10.5 should not be a problem. I have 19x11 on the back of mine and with a hammer and right angle grinder they fit. I did however go with 79mm offset so they fit even better. There is still minor rubbing on large bumps. Instead of further grinding I ordered a mini tub. I am running a 20mm spacer that will come off when the mini tub is done to give it the tucked look.

Nice ride!

 

just baught those vette wheels for my car have 17 inches in the front 18 in the back what do i need to do to make them fit?

 

Thanks for the help. Will a 275 be save to run in a 8.5 inch wide wheel?

 

Go to a tire website and you can find out for sure. I have 275/40/17 on a 17x9 but I don't know about and 8.5

 

Finally on

17in front 265 tire w/ 2in spacer
18in rear 295 tire w/ 2in spacer

might have to switch to a 2.25 spacer for the front because my tie rod is literally 1 or 2 mm away from my rim.

 

^^ That looks really good!! Off topic what exhaust tips are those?

 

Thank you! And actually I don't remember. Haha. I ordered them out of some magazine. I'll have to go through my old receipts and see if I can find out for you. Choosing the tips for my exhaust was so difficult. I didn't know if I wanted quads like now or just two angle cut tips. And then whether to be circular or square was a whole other story. Haha.

 

New to the site, and saw this thread going to be running some 06 C6 wheels, 19x10 rears, and 18x85, fronts, on my 84 Z28 =]

 

I love the look of those tail lights, did you just spray tint them or what?

 

I love those tail lights... did you spray tint them or what?

Wheels look sick on your GTA. Glad you could use them. And, thanks for the positive repp on itrader.

 

 

Thanks! Was a pleasure doing business with you.

 

Done and Done! Have to get and alignment now, but here we go. Running '06 C6 Wheels, powder coated "Super Wet Black", Goodyear Eagle F1 run flats. 245/45ZR18 fronts with 2" spacers, and 285/35ZR19 rears with 2.5" spacers. Lowered 1.6" front and rear on KSport springs

 

Here is mine testing out how the 2in spacers working i really like how these look

 

Looks great, love the color!

 

I agree I am doing the same hood and spoiler combo, but with the good old ZR1's. I pick them up Sat. Can't wait!

Stock height rubs in the rear

 

I had to run the extra .25, The 17's just won't clear it and on mine it was rubbing the front struts too.

 

Hey peeps any body running c6 ZO6 rims??

C5 Z06 17X9.5 w/54mm 275/40/17 & 18X10.5 w/58mm 295/35/18

 

time to add the lsi brakes.that should move it out a quarter inch.

 

I have a question.

I have these wheels. (it was payment for work I did for someone) It says on the wheel that they are 17x8.5

Now I have a stock 87 Iroc and I would like to put them on.

I've been told I need a 2 inch spacer to do this, which I can hopefully find somewhere at a local shop. I don't want to order a set, get them, and find out I need something different.

I have no idea what the measurements are on these but i've been told they are reproductions.

My other question is, with the 2 inch spacer, will I have to worry about it rubbing the outer fender?

 

I have an 87 with a 10 bolt rear end. I can help. Send me a PM at:
grampaben1@windstream.net.

It's easy to figure out. It just looks complicated on paper.

Anyone with the corvette Grand Sport wheels? If not anyone good at photoshop and see how they look?

 

[QUOTE=Nyczbubba;5339179]Anyone with the corvette Grand Sport wheels? If not anyone good at photoshop and see how they look?[/QUOT

I was looking at those to but after measuring I dont think you can stuff 13" wide inside the wheel well without some major modifications. They do make a knock off in smaller sizes but couldnt find anybody running them

 

Pics of GS wheels ( not my cars)

 

What size tires are you running?

 

i love corvette c6 wheels i want to get them but i have to get 2" or 3" spacers?? to fit?

 

Well the other day i was thinking of doing something a little different so i didn't want to paint over the corvette flags so I pulled of the aluminum covers that are on the center caps and discovered that there was a Pontiac "stamped" into the center cap so I tricked out the cap and rims!

 

18x9.5 front 19x11 rear i thing their c6 vette wheels
