Ok so ive got the new c6 wheels sitting in the garage just waiting on the tires (295s rear) to come in the mail. My question is do you guys think that these wider wheels/tires are gonna rub the fenders without realigning the rear with an adjustable panhard? Ive lowered the car about 2'' (well i think the springs were canuck? off ebay) Thanks in advance!

 

I lowered my car about 1.5" rear and the rear kicked over towards the driver side 1/2 inch or so. It was noticeable so I got the panhard bar and adjusted it to bring tires back under the fender lips.

With the C6 wheels, it depends on your spacers. I run 295's on my C6 wheels no problems with my 4th gen rear plus 5/8 slip on spacer. Probly need a spacer of 2.5" or so for a thirdgen rear. Its tucked in just alittle bit. Did have to beat in the inner fender wheel in the front lower corner.

 

you are going to need it, it will be a noticeable off center look and you may rub a little on one side and might get into the fender lip on the other

the panhard is a lot cheaper that a new tire and bodywork on the fender

 

Ive got 2'' spacers on all 4 corners right now running 4th gen wheels. So..... anybody got a panhard bar they wanna sell me LOL? Otherwise whats a good company that sells the kind i can adjust while its on the car?

or BMR, i just done have their link handy

 

Here is a link to our suspension page Let me know if you have any questions

3rd Gen Suspension

 

Ok... i've some C5 wheels on my ride, haven't lowered it yet, but why would I need to adjust the panhard? Im a little new to suspension.

 

When you lower our car the rear end gets shifted. To realign the rear you gotta. Get an adjustable panhard and adjust it accordingly

 

Pretty much what he said

 

glad i looked at this tonight. I want to run the c5 18x10.5's on the rear of my car. Now i know it would be a wise investment to get the panhard bar as well

 

I second the UMI recommendation.

I have an UMI On Car Adjustable one (link in my sig) & highly recommend it. My car was stock height & my rear was off by almost half inch, despite the good looking bushing on both ends of the PHB!

 

bmxer, how did the wheels fit up in there. Any rubbing? I had 2" adapters on C6's with 285's in rear and had to sledge the inner well some. Later.
