C6 wheels on a third gen with a 4th gen quick Performance 9".

Looking for pictures mainly. I have an '86 IrocZ. I purchased the C6 wheels. I have also purchased a quick Performance 9 inch rear end. I'm curious if any one has pics of this similar set up. Or send me a link. Thank you

What width did you spec the rear at? If you spec'd it 4th gen width they will bolt up with an inch spacer. 3rd gen rear, and you'll need 2" spacers.

Thanks for reply, the rear is a 4th gen width.

If they are the star pattern C6 wheels I think I ran a 1" or 1.25" spacer when I briefly ran these wheels.

First off I wanted to say, beautiful car. Thank you for the picture. My concern was that I wasn't sure if the wheels would tuck into the fender well.

If 19x10 it depends on tire size some, but will have to hammer the front of the well to gain the clearance to really tuck them. I had the 5/8 spacer to get it about even with lip.
