probably answered before but i couldnt find much information on this topic

i have a 91 camaro z28 suspension lowered on eibach sportline springs and KYB adjustable shocks

plan on putting on a set of GTAs i picked up with no tires. i wanted to run the Fronts on the rears and the rears on the front like everyone wants to but didnt really know why i couldnt? what rubs? touches? causes? anyway around those? BFH? spacers etc...


if not i was wondering if anyone runs 295/50s in the rear of a lowered camaro to?

and if 255/50s all the way around will still clear if the vehicle is lowered? i understand slight rubbing will happen cause right now my car not lowered on stock z28 wheels n 245/50 rubbed on the right side only.

just wana make sure first before i install the tires.

thanks

 

they hit the tie rod. to do it you have to use a spacer on the front, something around 1/4/-5/16?

fronts all round works too with no problems

 

can anyone else confirm the spacers in front with rear rim?

 

i can, you need one, end of story.

 

so what size spacer to be exact? 4mm? 1/4? 5/16

 

i believe the factory ones are 6mm, so that traslates to .236", so round it to 1/4".

i noticed you have a b4c car? is that the one in question? does the car have the 1le brakes? because i hear if you have the 1le brakes, you dont need the spacer.

 

dont have the 1le brakes but swap in the near future will be done but not right now.

so 1/4 spacers will get the job done need to replace studs to longer ones too?

 

maybe maybe not, i would check and see how much engagement you have, if its less than 1.5 times the stud diameter, get longer studs.

 

i just test fitted the Rear GTA on the front of my camaro

4mm spacers arent going cut it. i need about 1/2inch spacer to clear the tie rod.

off to order the APR studs and 1/2 spacer now
