C6 19x10 fitment (pics), 4th gen rear end

88 camaro, rear end came out of a 97 formula. Factory 88 springs.

Just mocked up the rear wheels. The driver side is closer to the wheel well than the passenger and looks like it’s gotta have spacers. Anyone else have this issue?

adjustable panhard rod will fix the out of center rear, and with 1/4" slip on spacer youll be fine unless you run really wide tires like a 315 on a 10" wheel. I would reccomend a 285/35/19 which you can find for under 200ea. from many major brands.

I used a hub centric 5/8 spacer and beat the hell out the wells to clear 295/305 type tires but the tires are also tall at 27-27.4”
a 275/285 tire thats short sidewall may clear better

Do people usually need adjustable Panhard with just a 4th gen rear swap?

You should use an adjustable panhard bar with any lowered car as well.

My car isn't lowered, but I do have a 4th gen rear end. I made sure to have an adjustable panhard bar and haven't had any problems with fitment.

It doesn't matter if your car is lowered or not, production tolerances in the 80's allowed many of the rear ends to be offset one side or the other. An adjustable panhard bar allows you to bring that rear end into perfect center so you equalize the amount of room you have on the inside (and outside). If you corner hard, the tire will flex and may still rub if you're close, so that's when you may need a bit of a spacer.

Re: C6 19x10 fitment (pics), 4th gen rear end

Yea like stated above pan bar
275 or 285 even 295 will do
35s or 30s will do depending on tire width
