  • Corvette Rims Q

    18/10.5 in the back & 17/9.5 in the front c5 z06 rims. Should i have any problems with them bolting right on? will i need spacers or should i anticipate any scraping of the inside of the wheel wells in the back? ... keep in mind i just finished installing KYB adjustables w/hotchkis 1" lowering springs back and front.

    They make handling a pleasure by the way.

    I think they have the same bolt pattern tho. As far as tire rubbing; it probably won't but you might want to ask someone that has some Corvette wheels on their Camaro.

          talk to schlotzky, i believe his z06 setup is the 17/18 stagger, and he didn't have problems.

            Running the same kyb agx and hotchkis. I'm also running 17/18 but my rears are 9.5" wide. As long as your offset is more than 56mm then you'll be fine. If it IS 56mm, I still think you'll be fine, as there was some clearance between the tires and the bumpstops. I did have to grind down just a bit of the hub and inside of the wheel to get it to clear, but that's just pre 98 cars, so you should be fine on that.

              Great. The rims should be wrapped and mounted in a few. I appreciate the responses; they were a big help.

                      So 275/35/18 all around? Sweet deal. I had no problems with that size in the back, and the fronts are essentially the same size but for 17s. Will look real nice :tup:

                        I just put Y2K's on my Car the staggered 17/18's and had to bang in the wheel well a little to get the backs not to rub..

                          Got the rims on and am in the process of painting the calipers. I ended up throwing on some Khumo's. It rides and looks great.
