Question on Z06 rims.

Hello. I have come across some Z06 rims and wanted to verify what I was going to need to get them rolling. I have a '84 Z28 with a stock rear end. From what I have read I need 2.25" adapters for the front and 2" adapters for the rear. Is this correct?

And this is where I found the spacers: http://adaptitusa.com/5x475to5x475wheeladapter.aspx


Anyone have any place else that they would suggest getting the spacers from?



Picture of the rims.

Re: Question on Z06 rims.

I think they would look nice on the car, Im not exactly a big fan of black....but I am starting to get a little tempted to buy it, if im going to get black rims, I want them to be "the" rims I want to look at, even though I won't be the one looking at them when Im driving lol.

Re: Question on Z06 rims.

I don't really like black rims that much either, but I think these are an exception. I just can't get myself to like the idea of wheel adapters. I know that that people say they are safe and that alot of people have used them, but it still bugs me to have to use them.

Re: Question on Z06 rims.

I just put 17x11's on my car today and they had a back space of 7.8" and I used a 2" spacer and the fit perfect. There is probably about .5" clearance to the inner wheel well and no rubbing. I think as long as you are under a total of a 6" back spacing on the rear anything will fit. The fronts will go on in the morning and I went with a 2.25" spacer and my wheels have a 7.1" back space.
