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).

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.

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!

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.

Thanks for the help. Will a 275 be save to run in a 8.5 inch wide wheel?

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!

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.

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.

I had to run the extra .25, The 17's just won't clear it and on mine it was rubbing the front struts too.

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?

I have an 87 with a 10 bolt rear end. I can help. Send me a PM at:
grampaben1@windstream.net.

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

Re: Got Vette Wheels??...Post pics here...!

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!

the back tires look like they would hit the quarterpanels.
