Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Figured I'd upload mine as well. It's a crappy cell phone pic but it's the only one I've got with the new wheels. 17" x 9.5" ZR1s with 2" spacers all the way around. Hoping to have this thing running again in the next couple months.

Re: Got Vette Wheels?? Help for a feeble old man..
Okay kids, Call me stupid, hell I don't know - that's one of the things my X used to call me, but HEY, I NEED HELP WITH SPACER SIZES.
I have an 87 IROC.
I have come across a screaming deal on a set of C4 sawtooths in perfect shape. I know they aren't the most popular style out there, but I am on a budget and I GOTTA get some more rubber on the ground here. I've got Saturns jumping me off the line - well not that bad but close...
They are staggered 17x8.5 fronts and 17x9.5 rears. The setback on the rears is 7.5". I don't know the front, but it should be between 6.5" and 7".
I THINK I need 2" spacers all around but am not sure.
ALSO: I was planning on running the most tire I can get under the well in the rear without them sticking out. How big can I go? 315's, 285's?? I was planning on NITTO 05R's on the rear
I was planning on running 245 or 255's on the front NITTO 05's.
Help an old guy okay? What do I need for spacers? I'll share my geritol with anyone who can help. (If you don't know what geritol was, count yourself lucky).

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Uh oh.... a present came in the mail on Monday...
Cannot wait to get these mounted on the car! Buying the spacers in a few days. I truly cannot believe the way these change the look of my car.

18x10.5 should not be a problem. I have 19x11 on the back of mine and with a hammer and right angle grinder they fit. I did however go with 79mm offset so they fit even better. There is still minor rubbing on large bumps. Instead of further grinding I ordered a mini tub. I am running a 20mm spacer that will come off when the mini tub is done to give it the tucked look.

Finally on
17in front 265 tire w/ 2in spacer
18in rear 295 tire w/ 2in spacer
might have to switch to a 2.25 spacer for the front because my tie rod is literally 1 or 2 mm away from my rim.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
Thank you! And actually I don't remember. Haha. I ordered them out of some magazine. I'll have to go through my old receipts and see if I can find out for you. Choosing the tips for my exhaust was so difficult. I didn't know if I wanted quads like now or just two angle cut tips. And then whether to be circular or square was a whole other story. Haha.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!
I have a question.
I have these wheels. (it was payment for work I did for someone) It says on the wheel that they are 17x8.5
Now I have a stock 87 Iroc and I would like to put them on.
I've been told I need a 2 inch spacer to do this, which I can hopefully find somewhere at a local shop. I don't want to order a set, get them, and find out I need something different.
I have no idea what the measurements are on these but i've been told they are reproductions.
My other question is, with the 2 inch spacer, will I have to worry about it rubbing the outer fender?

It's easy to figure out. It just looks complicated on paper.

I was looking at those to but after measuring I dont think you can stuff 13" wide inside the wheel well without some major modifications. They do make a knock off in smaller sizes but couldnt find anybody running them

Well the other day i was thinking of doing something a little different so i didn't want to paint over the corvette flags so I pulled of the aluminum covers that are on the center caps and discovered that there was a Pontiac "stamped" into the center cap so I tricked out the cap and rims!
