Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Ordered these in 18x10.5 and they will be delivered soon. I think they will suit my car well. I am going with a 285-35-18 series tire. Car is lowered about 1 and 1/2 inches with cut Moog springs. Stock brakes on the car.
I am putting on a Founders adjustable panhard bar and some 3 piece poly LCAs so not sure if that affects anything with doing the 18x10.5 set up.
I still need to get spacers and from what I see from researching the board is that 2 inch spacers would be the way to go all the way around. Is that right? Also should I go hub centric or lug centric? Does it matter? Thanks for any help.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
2" Adapters should be fine, front & rear. Hub-centric is always the better option, when you can use them. They put the load/stress on the axle itself instead of the lugs. You can get hub-centric adapters for the rear, but I haven't found any that would work for the front due to the way the spindle sticks out. I went with hub-centric on the rear & lug-centric on the front because of this. Bought mine from www.ezaccessory.com

I have the C6 polished aluminum. These are the ones that have the slight "milky" look. I actually like the better than the chrome version of these and I heard these were a $1400 option on the vette.

Hey McLovin, nice ride! I really like your rims and would like to replace my 16s with some 17s. Where did you get the 17X9.5s?

Hey, 92Annie - Not sure where McLovin got his, but they sell those on www.oewheelsllc.com - I have bought two sets of replica wheels from them and have been pleased with both purchases. The C4 ZR1 Replicas on my Camaro and the 2014 GMC Sierra Replicas on my 2006 GMC both came from OE Wheels LLC. They get my vote!

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Picked up the same wheel and tire combo you have for my 88 Camaro. I had to run 3 inch spacers on the rear though. I've got a Moser 9 inch that was built for a 4th gen. It's about 1/4 inch shorter on both ends. I probably could have got away with 2.5 spacer but I would have had to make some cuts instead of just "massaging" with the BFH.

Dingley, are your wheels factory GM or aftermarket? The two different types can have different backspacing.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
I have a set of c6 with 19 rear and 18front. I had already massaged the rear wells for a previous set of zo3s. I’m running a 4 th gen rear and a 1/4 spacer. I have an LS front brake conversion and 2 inch spacers up front. Anyone have this wheel and brake combo and know if 2 inch will work or do I need 2 1/5
I haven’t tried to mount the fronts yet

Here’s mine with C5s painted black. I believe they’re 18” in the rear and 17” in the front. It’s been a while since I put these on but I think I have a 1/4” spacer in the rear, which is a 4th gen. I had to cut out quite a bit of the rear wheel well to get them to fit.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
I know I am being a little partial here but I truly believe this C6 style Vette wheel look the best on our Camaros. I run the same set up except for 2" spacers in the front. Keeps the lip of the tire under the fender.

C6 Wheels. 18" wheels w/ 2" spacers up front, 19" wheel w/ 2.5 spacer out back. Love them so far. Wish the car sat a bit lower now though.
