what needs to be done to fit 2006 corvette wheels on my stock firebird rear end? say i wanted to get a fourth gen rear what needs to be done then?

thanks

 

Don't know about the stock thirdgen rear but my bird with an LT style 4thgen rear has a 1" bolt on spacer and fits the 19x10 '07 wheels (same as '06) with the outside of the wheel perfectly inline with the top lip of the wheel well.

 

if you use the 19x10 rears and 18x8.5 fronts, you will need about a 1.75-2.0" spacer up front, and about a 2.25-2.5" rear spacer for the 19x10's on stock rear.

4th gen LS1 rear like i'm using, you only need about .625" of space. I got a hubcentric slip on 5/8" setup that works great with the extended 2.5" ARP wheel studs. It fits the wheel center very tight and distributes the load. I would not recommend doing a regular slip on larger than 1/4".

A bolt on .75 sounds like the ticket but a 1" could also work, it just wont be exactly tucked under the fender lip.

 

I'm using an ls1 rear & 1/4" spacers and they fit nicely tucked. Also depends what tire you will run, if using a stick 285 35 19 you can probably get away with a ls1 rear and no spacers.

 

I"m running a 295/30/19 tire and i had to use the 5/8 spacer and beat in the wheel wheel alot to get it to clear.
