Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Holy Crap. Between you, and Fords88bird, and iansane, Im sold on the c6 wheels. Man that is the perfect stance, and wheel inset. Just beautiful.
Can one of you fine fellows tell me what spacers, and wheel/tire sizes you have. Also, Im sure you are all lowered, so what springs, or are you guys using spindles, both?
Ive researched, but there are literally hundreds of combos. Between you three guys, the combination is perfect. Im sure you are all close in setup.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
shouldnt need a spacer with the 4th gen rear regardless of what brakes you use. Only wheels i see that need a spacer with 4th gen rear are the 19x10 wheels like the Z06 wheels or big C6 wheels

I'm thinking about changing my standard vette wheels for some '09 zo6 spyders. Is anyone rolling around on these? Preferably not chrome, maybe in gunmetal/black?

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
I have to say the 4th gen ZR1 wheels are the best looking wheel for the 3rd gen. Flows the best in my opinion

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
I'll have to agree with you on that one, something about em I just really dont like. But I did find an amazing set of Chrome ones 19s back 18s front. The guy only wants 400 with tires. Its a great deal but I really just dont like em, its to bad cause they are in great shape

Grr, I have them sitting in boxes in my basement... Havn't had the time to do the 4th gen rear swap yet... Hopefully by the end of the month, and yes, they're going to look bad ***...

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Looking good for the most part. All it needs is the black strips removed from the door edges, a power bulge hood and lowering. I'm not sold on those wheels, but then again with the car lower it may look good.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
HAHA!!!! Tax time is the exact reason why they're not on the car now!! Still need to pick up tires for the rear (tire-rack has emm on back order) and i'm still trying to figure exactly what spacer combo I should go with... I figure with the fourth gen rear, due to the high offset, i'm going to have to run a one inch spacer... With the front I was thinking I might go two inches so they're a lil tucked in the wheel well... I don't know, we'll see what I do when the money comes in... haha

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Thanks guys. The wheels are 17x9.5 and 18x10.5. I'm running 2" spacers up front and a 4th gen rearend for the rears. I have not really been able to drive on them that much, but it appears as though I may need to bust out the BFH to give me a little more clearence for the rear tires.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Tires are 245 40 r18 front and 285 35 r19 rear......i actually had to do no modification to the rears... besides putting the spacers... some people on this board were saying to go with 2.25" spacer... but i ended up going with a 3" spacer and they bolted up with no other modifications... because if i was to go with the 2.25" as it was posted on the board i would have had to modify the inner wheel well... but there is also a down side for the 3" spacer.... it wont work if ur car is lowered , but since mine is not lowered i have no problems... but now i want to lower it and i have three options so the wheels wont rub.... run a 4th gen rear end.... roll in the fender lip.... or get spacer made thinner take off 1/2" or soo... but thats only if i would lower it other than that there is no problems....

Realy considering getting rid of my C6 comp gray wheels for 18" somethings all around. Need a fat drag radial in the back and no one makes a 19"
