Vette wheels on a Third Gen?
Has anyone put late model vette wheels on a third gen? Can it be done? Will the 18"x10.5" rear wheels fit with 295/35/18 tires in back with the 17"x9.5" front wheels with 275/45/17 tires up front?

You can make anything fit. There is a white camaro on this board with Y2k vette wheels.

It's possible. I know Scauffiel is running 18s in back and 17s in front. The rear has occasionaly rubbing on deep dips. Powermite is running 18s front and back but I have not talked to him to see how he likes his. I believe they are Image wheels. Looks pretty sharp. Might want to talk to those fellas if you thinking of 18s

SPNDR...or anybody that can help me out...how did you post the pics you photoshopped? I actually photoshopped some pics of your car with different types of rims on it...but I cannot figure out how to post them on the boards. Where do I find a host to do so? Please let me know.

17x9 WS6 wheels with 275/40/17 Kuhmos.


I need to get bigger brakes, my tiny rotors look funny,

Zepher loves his wheels.....I agree that blonde should not have a bra. That's the way I like 'em.

Wheels can make or break the looks of the car.

My car looks like hell right now, but those wheels make it look good.
