ok, im new at this photochop thing, im just trying to see who they look, what do u think

 

Too big, I just don't like the look of big rims and little brakes.

 

well those were photochoped, and not very good. but the ones im looking at are the 18x10 in the back 17x 9.5 or 18x8.5 in front. but that style wheel.

 

personally, one of the best looking wheels on a thirdgen. just got them finnaly installed yesterday. 17 by 9.5 in fronts with 2.5 in spacers. and 275 tires. and 18 by 10.5 in rear with 2 in spacers and 305 35r18's

 

just wanted to say thanks for calling me up and for your help i think it looks great and the spacers came 4 days before they were suppose to. look at the above thread to see the new wheels and thanks again for your help.

 

pics no work

 

Not a problem Josh, now get those pictures up so we can see your work...

 

ill just show them like this cant figure out how to make them smaller then to upload with the url.

 

hmm fixed themselves

 

18x9.5
245's in front
285's in rear
BF GForce2

 

Is that the original paint? I really like the dark (charcoal?) ground effects with the stripes.

 

its the original color, i had to have it repainted a few years ago due to the OEM paint defect. its silver metallic, it was a rare paint combination. it looks amazing at night.

 

Did they even make zo6 rims that were 18x10's up front??

 

nevermind they are the 18/9.5

 

There's really nothing stopping you from trying to bolt a "rear" 18x10 on the "front"...

 

so what is the widest 18 that you can run on the front? and tire size? i want to run the same all around so i can rotate

 

You're going to hate driving if you go wider than 10" wheel/285 tire in the front unless your roads are awesome and your suspension/steering is in great shape. Just the nature of the beast. With proper fitment you can fit huge wheels in front. There are a few running 18x10 w/ 305 or 315 tires. Definitely not the norm, or easy, but doable.

 

Well I'm not going to hijack this thread so ill make it quick. I want to build a hot street car built for auto cross and track. So I like the wide wheels all around. So what do you think is a good size all around?

 

So do all these c5/c6 wheels require spacers or adapters?

 

Front = YES
Rear = depends
stock =yes
4th Gen rear end = no

 

Except for mine, which came with a 26mm offset. 17X8.5, no spacers required, I bought them at Discount Tire and was told not long after that the vendor doesn't make that offset any more.

 

I picked up a set of 2002 C5 5 spokes, 17 front, 18 rear. Consensus is that at stock springs, 2 inch spacers all around is what will work the best. Where do you find these for the best price? Also, what's a good staggered tire size setup that won't rub without modifying the inner fenders and fender lips?

 

Iansane, it's been a while. You back on the road. Later.

 

Yeah. The bird is back to my daily driver status. The bicycle sucked.

 

so josh006, can u fix ur pics......

 

.

 

Not sure what's up. When I'm logged on they work. If not they don't. trying get them off my phone now.

 

 

Any larger pictures? Can you email them to me? Are those 18s? Look good.

 

lets try this... made pics smaller hope you can see them. lmk if you cant.

 

if i can get my hands on some spacers ill have some pics to add to the pile.

 

sorry josh, nada.....

jer4251, just post pics of the rims, that way we can imagine them on our cars

 

I feel ya! I'm in the same position right now. I'm just gonna buck up and buy some ebay ones though. I think I can trust the quality of them.

 

Could you by chance tell me what size tires you have on there. I just bought a set of those for my 88 camaro and I wasnt sure if the stock vette size tires would fit ok or not.

 

Hey if any of you guys need some spacers for the Vette wheels, I have some for sale.I used them on my 3rd gen , when I had 89 Vette wheels on it. They were custom made Billet, for the offset !!! 1(650)867-3946.p.s I paid $600.00 when new. Bryan

 

I'm using ebay spacers and my car drove off a cliff.

 

i have ebay spacers on my car no problem work great. same as if you were to buy from hawks except theres are 100 bucks more.

 

Some pics of my car from last weekend. C5 Z06 18x9.5 all around. No spacers on back...4th gen rear.

 

Are those 9.5 rears?

 

tgo just dont like me lol try smaller pics i took today.

 

let me know if those pics worked yet. they all work when im signed in.

At last... if there working on my phone I assume there working now thanks for the help lol and thanks for those who helped me get through my wheel process.

 

Check it out finally got pics to work.

 

I've correctly got a set of 92 Anniversary wheels on my Berlinetta. They are real nice - but I just gotta' get some new rubber so I can get the ZR1's re-mounted !


Here's a pic from when I had my C5's installed.....




Here's it is with ZR1's installed:





Some wheels just don't look right with certain cars / colors. IMO; The silver ZR1's work with every color combination...... It may just be the perfect 17" wheel for just about every ThirdGen !

 

way to go josh, car looks good with those!!!

what size are they?

 

Going from these...to these:
