Vette Wheel Help
Vette Wheel Help
Ok I've got a set of Vette wheels but I'm not sure what style they are or what it would take to put them on my 86. They are 17s on the front and 18s on the back. They are 5 spoke, gray, Vette emblem in the middle, fairly large center caps, and exposed lugs with black caps on them. 275 35s on the back and 245 45s on the front.They came off a 93 T/A and the rear ones had two small spacers on the back (maybe half inch thick). Are those all i need to make them work on my car? If not what kind of spacer do I need and where can I get em?
Thanks

Re: Vette Wheel Help
Do a search, more than likely you are going to need 2 inch spacers all the way around. This subject has been covered numerous times.

2'' spacers all around. you can get away will 1.5'' spacers as well. with the 2'' spacers the tires come almost flush straight down with the fender lip they are slightly in 1/4'' from the lip. The fronts sit the same at about 1/4'' in from the lip. IMO it looks the best. 1.5'' spacers tuck the tire a little more and give it an almost stock appearance. I like the look of a wider tire as well as a wider stance. Looks more aggressive.

Re: Vette Wheel Help
Do the wheels look like these? If so, you need 2" spacers front & rear if you have stock brake setup. These are C5 thin spokes. Dean
