Hey Guys!

So since my 86 Maro is in the shop right now, I am looking at getting new wheels for her. I'm looking at some C5 replica 'Vette wheels:

and since I know close to nothing about rims or fitment, I was wondering what will I need to do to make these fit right? I've heard of guys using 2 inch spacers all the way around, but then again I still fully don't know what those are, haha. My car is stock height and has no suspension mods. If anyone could try and steer me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for sounding like such a noob, I'm just not sure about this wheel stuff.

Thanks for the help!

(Yay, first post! )

Thanks! that link looks helpful

Oh and another question: those replica corvette rims should have same offsets, dimensions, etc. as factory corvette rims, correct?

 

Yup

i got mine on ebay for 120 shipped all 4 but i bought myself 2.25" instead. i have corvette magnesiums and i think the offset is a tiny different

make adapters anysize you want i recommend them hub and wheel centric

didnt like ebay ones wasnt a tight fit but does its job

try http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/Wheels-for-Camaro_4
hawks tends to upcharge might beable to save some pennys buying direct

 

Yeah, I found the wheels at OE wheels a few days ago, way cheaper and direct, plus they're located an hour away from me. Adapters is still my problem, I do not want to get the wrong size, or get some crappy made ones and have my wheels fall off on the interstate :/

 

then get them fro website i posted high quality i have them
give him a call they do alot of stuff there and totally worth the extra penny

 

OK, I will give them a look. Thanks for the help!

 

Hey guys, sorry to bump something sort of old, But can anyone give any input on these? I'm still having a hard time with spacers :/

everything that you should know is posted above and the spacer size for corvette wheels.. it doesnt get much simplier than that

you can save money of you got from ebay to avoid hawks upcharge on stuff

i hear 2" is usally the norm tho

theres alot of info/ resources on this site if you search

 

Those spacers were $259! Really?? Wow!

 

Haha, I know; crazy expensive. I might have found some Ebay ones that look promising, its just theres so many on Ebay so I'm not sure which ones to trust, because spacers breaking sounds like a nightmare.

and thanks for that link, Zach. It's just these rims I am trying to buy are not the most descriptive on what kind of rims they actually are (Z06, etc)
