DAM that is clean!! Really like the GS stripes!

CamKid1992

No mini tub. No nothing not even fender roll. No rubbing at all. And its lowered on sportlines. With factory crap shocks it rubbed bad. Nothing at all now.

Here is my ride. It has a 4th gen rear and 2 inch adapters in the front. They are 2002 C5 rims, 255/40/17 and 275/35/18. Sits, rides, and looks killer!!

How does the 18"/17" bias effect handling and ride?

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

I have SFCs and a kink in my frame. My ride couldn't have gotten any worse, so I haven't felt a difference in ride.
Handling though, to me, turning feels a little bit more responsive on 285/35/18s going from a stock size tire on my old 16" formulas. It IS a little looser on the *** end with the 18s on mostly burnt off tires.

Other people's experiences will differ, most people's cars on here haven't been wrecked.

17x9.5 with BFG GForce KDW2's. 2in spacers on all 4 corners

My car rides a little more firm - which I like, and handles WAY better - which I LOVE!!
I have Suspension Techniques springs and Monroe shocks/struts.
Huge improvement over stock.

You'll need a jack, lug nuts, and a device to secure the lug nuts!

( I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!)

Camarobad

Haha...check....now what spacers will I need to put the 13in wide tire on my car

jas2730

iTrader: (7)

Most guy's including me run 2 inch spacers. But I don't think your getting that 345 in there without heavy modification.

jas2730

iTrader: (7)

BTW, if your running a fourth gen rear like myself no spacers will be needed on the back.

andyiroc88

I don't think you are getting that 345 in the stock wheel well. I barely squeezed a 295/35 in mi e. went back to a 275/35/18.

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

You will absolutely have to tub it if you want a 345 tire in the back. You may also have to shorten your rear end depending on backspacing of your wheel.
2" spacers on the front.
No idea on the back. You will have to measure that for yourself

Here is mine. 295/35 r18 rear on 18x10.5 and 275/45 r17 front on 17x9.5. 2"spacers front and rear.

Only one person running the newer ZR1 wheels? I was hoping to see a couple sets on here...

there are definitely a lot of sweet cars being posted on this thread


I am trying to install my 2006 Corvette c6 wheels on to my 91 Camaro Convertible... the wheels are 18 by 8.5 and 19 by tens on the rear.. does anyone know the exact amount of spacer I need to fit them so they won't rub on the inner or outer wheel wells?

396l35

You need to figure how much back space is on your wheels. I went with a 2" spacer in the rear and a 2.25" in the front. Wheels are 17x11 with a 7.8" backspace and the fronts are 17x9.5 with a 7.1" backspace. The rear tires are 315/35R17 and the fronts are 275/40ZR17. The front rubs a little in the rear on a hard turn so if you go with a smaller front tire it should get by with no rubbing. So depending on the back space of the wheel subtract it from these two numbers that will give you the size of spacer needed. Totals needed: (BS - F) or (BS - R)
Front: 4.85" 7.1" BS - 4.85" = 2.25" Spacer
Rear: 5.8" 7.8" BS - 5.8" = 2" Spacer

So the total BS for the front should be 4.85"/with spacer and rear 5.8"/with spacer. Here is some pictures of mine...

welterracer

im thinking 2 inch on the front and 2.5 on the rear

LivinLarge

Is there anybody running 18" c5 thin spokes on all 4 corners?

welterracer

I am currently running 17 by 9.50 with a 5.5 inch backspacing on all 4 wheels on my old Camaro and the outside edges of the tires rub the wheel wells.... I believe I could run 6.5 inch backspacing on the rear and not rub .but the front tires rub on the A-arm with 5.5 back spacing and the outside edge of the tire rubs on the fender when you hit bumps granted this car is very low

396l35

The most you can run is a 5.8" back space on your rear wheel otherwise you will be hitting into the inner wheelhouse...

I have 18x8.5 on the front and 18x10 rear. 06 Chrome C6 wheels and I run 2.25" spacer on the front and 2" on the rear.

c10freak87

im running thin spokes c5 18 on rear 17 on front

LivinLarge

There are plenty of cars with that setup. OE wheels just came out with 18" sets of the thin spokes and want to see of anyone's got them.

c10freak87

oh didnt know you meant a non oem rim could of been more clear about that in your first post

New to the board and just started on my recently acquired '89 RS... needs a lot of cosmetic exterior work, car was basically stored in a garage with 500 pounds of crap piled in, on, and around it, but I am committed to the cause. 1st mod is the C6 wheel conversion, picked up 4 CHROME ones today for $500 with brand new 245/40/18 & 285/35/19 Hankooks on them. Hoping to acquire some spacers tomorrow and get them installed this weekend - will post pics as soon as I get it done! Can't wait, and looking forward to sharing pics of the progress along the way. Best is, the car is for my daughter when she turns 16 next year - but she thinks it's just another one of my "projects"...

Sounds awesome, we'll need updates and pics. I have a ways to go but look forward to doing this type of project for my daughters!

Picked up my 2.25" & 2" spacers this morning, about to head out and start on the day's "project"...should be a good time. I'll certainly post up when it's all completed.

Looking forward to finally digging into this project!!
