Re: Need help, tried coil spring spacers

you are kidding right? lol
that tire is for a mid/full size truck not suppposed be on a camaro
you can get away with a wide tire but tall is a different story 2756015 or 2955016 is a better choice and not to expensive

Dump those tires - they are 29" tall and are 3.25" larger than stock sized ones. Not only does it cause a problem with fitment, it also lowers your gearing a lot - 3.23 will act like a 2.73 gear with them.

Doesn't matter if the cost u 5 dollars, they are not right.

They make coil spcing spacers up to 4" thick, but its going to create more problems then they solve.

Get proper size tires

Re: Need help, tried coil spring spacers

Those cost you 200 $!

I bought my c5 wagon wheels with tires for 200$. And just sold a set of gunmetal c6 wheels for 300 without tires.

Also sold my old irocs with tires for 175$.

Get some good correct tires, or sell those to someone else. Hopefully you can get what you paid for them.
