Glad you made a decision between those and the 526's. Both are good looking wheels. Can't wait to see them on your car. Where did you order them from? I went with nlmotoring.com

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

no i got mins at a tire shop here in cali i like the 521 cause its a sinister looking wheel and i want my car to look evil yea i paid $950 for rims and tires mounting and blancing

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

im getting these same wheels in all black, what offset and back spacing are you going with and are you gona use spacers?

Grifter757

iTrader: (5)

They dont make a offset that will work with a thirdgen 100%. You have to use adapters/spacers.

morrow

oh, ok well then which ones are you going with, which off set?

Kory-88Iroc 350 tpi

iTrader: (1)

Did you ever get any pics of these? also the backspacing and spacer info would be great.
Thanks,
Kory

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

No not yet got a bad block machine shop overbored it so building another oneshould be done this week prob going to use 1in all around they do bolt up rears are OK just need spacer for front but I will see but you need at least a inch for front

morrow

an the backs dont need a spacer at all right? and its the rim lip sits just a hair inside the fender?

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

no the bolt right up dont need but it dpends on the look you want some like rims flush to fender or slightly out or tuck in jus depends on your taste

morrow

nice!. and you didn 20mm offset in rear and 35 front?

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

i believe they come in only one offset which is 25

morrow

negative, 35 and 25 , maybe it all depends on the vender?

i think these are the right ones

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

ok i see what your saying yea your right

morrow

i think to get it to bolt up corectly or, as close as possible i think your settup is correct, i think im going to do 35mm up front and 25mm in back, cuz im going to do willwoods brake upgrade and that widens the front track a little, so it might work out better for my setup. cant wait to see the pics of your car after your put your wheels on

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

yea brakes are my next upgrade i like the 5th gen brakes but would have to change wheels again

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

you have pics of your car

morrow

yea i have some fairly new ones, should get painted at the end of the month, and get a set of pro car 1790 fixed back seats

morrow

i think the brembo ss camaro brakes fit in a 18, you have to cut off the vibration weights off the pads though

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

yea they fi but the bolt pattern on 5th gen are different then the 3rd gen

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

i dig the pic how you did the spoiler that looks sweet nascar / pro tour look thats the look im going for also
yea mine is paint mettalic black now and rebuilt a 350 lt1 use to have a 305 and upgrade trans on top of rebuilt the pic i have on signature is old its in the shop
when i put rims on i also have hothkis springs 1in all around at same time and swap all bushings to polyurethane from energy
still need to fix idler arm and ball joints i have play in front steering did you have that issue ?
and still need to wet sand and buff it doesnt need it but trying to get alittle more shine lol

morrow

i have the hotchkis springs and swaybars. and at the moment kyb shocks, but will upgrade to koni yellows or a set of qa1 . i still have play in the stearing wheel, i replaced the idler arm, ball joints and tie rods with the hotchkis front end rebuild kit and i still have some play, not as much buth there is still some there... i think its in the steering box, ill probably have to rebuild it or pic up one from the junk yard and rebuild and swap it in. yea i forgot, your right the new chevy is 5 on 5 , post some new pics of your car, ill be painting mine summit white, which is the gm color that is on the new camaro.

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

as you can see by pics mines started bad like yours got alot off laughs but i seen the beauty inside my fav body style
how are the sway bars yea i been wanting to get pics so bad now want to play with photoshop lol
yea i have about a 1in or lil more play in steering wheel
i was reading some where you can swap rag joint for a soild u joint steering shaft from a 97 chevy van im not to sure on the year but i now its from the van

morrow

thats not a bad idea, but i dont think this car had play when it was new, so i dont think the joints are a problem, i love the sway bars, im still running a v6, havent did the lt1 swap yet, but im on cut hotchkis springs and the swaybars with there adjustable panhard bar. and i love it, handels great, i had a guy with a 911 carrera come up to me in a gas station not long ago asking about it. aparently he was just following me through topanga canyon wich is a long very twisty canyon and he said that there were moments were he was having a hard time catching me. realy nice guy, he said that one of his first cars was a third gen. but you know guy makes money and buys a porshe lol. but it was nice to see some one appretiate these cars and look beyond what is on the outside and appreciate whats underneath. ,

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

yea i have alot of play in mines when i got it it was soak with oil you cut a half coil how does it ride with cut coil i was looking at 1le sway bars but unsure i do want to get upgraded sway bar

SiCkRs

iTrader: (6)

No they have the same bolt pattern just the rotors the center hub is smaller you could get the c6 z06 rotors and 5th gen brembo calipers that's what ima do on my car.

morrow

in my opinion it rides great, at ride high it sits just over the bump stops front and rear, and its not to bouncy and its not too soft, i love it, handles great, i cut a full coil out of the front and put in rubber isolaters to soak up vibration, and the sear i think i cut 2.5 coils. front fender lip sits at 25 inches and the rear is at 26.... cant wait till i get to do my taxes and get my xxr521 wheel, gona look soooo nice and handle even better then it does now. i just finished my door panels too, you would probably like them, i fiber glassed the lower portion and mounted some 6.5 inch 2 ways in it, wrapped in suede. still going to do the dash top in suede and the sides on the center console and the panels under the dash ..what have you done to your car so far?

morrow

morrow

cool cool, sounds like you coming along ok, def want to see some pics of all of it, you carpeted your dash? and what do you mean by 350injectors?

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

TBI engines LO3/305 LO5350 AND 454 they all have different fuel injector sizes 454 being the biggest stock bore size for tbi unit for the 350 is 46mm and i bored out to 50mm and mines should flow around 700cfm as compared to 450 sumthing cfmof stock 350 tbi

morrow

oh ok got it, i was just wondering in what seance you meant, but i got it, most injector's are measured in lb. just understanding what you meant . i was thinking you had a tpi for some reason also.
i have a 305 tpi sitting in the garage that needs a rebuild so i might just run that, but id rather run a mpi lt1.. so what part of you dash did you carpet?

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

Yea I get you they like 40 sumthing lb at like around 10 paid of fuel pressure what power range you want are you going to do heads and cam stock lt1 intake and tpi intake run out up to 4000 unless bore it out but lt1 better pick and have to redrill bolt holes for tpi

morrow

right on, so what part of your dash did you carpet?

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

the entire dash pad i rather spend 100 + dollars on go fast parts lol only thing left is some reclinable racing seats

morrow

yea, i just got the carpet dash cover for now, im going to upholster it in black suede eventually, and the seats im getting are fixed back, they dont recline, really probably a better plan for me anyway plus were doing a cage so there is no point to reclining seats lol

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

You making full track car lol I drive to San Diego to Los Angeles every weekend

morrow

yea it will be a street legal, track car with all the luxuries of a normal loaded interior. i guess, i dont know what you would call it, i suppose its pro touring lol. idk.... and it wont be an everyday driver , do you do auto x?

morrow
