Corvette Rims Thread

Driveway Kustoms · 08-11-2008, 09:47 PM

Well there seems to be a lot of c5/c6 wheel threads so lets try to accumulate them all into one!! post up your pics, the size spacer your using, year/model of rims your using and tire size if possible.

GeorgesBlazah · 08-17-2008, 11:45 AM

TTT

Deos the width of the rim effect the spacer used? I am using a 8.5in wide wheel. I want the wheels to be flush with fenders. I was thinking of using a .5in spacer.

Brutus2TheMax · 08-18-2008, 03:48 PM

I have c5 rims and use 2.5" spacers and they're just about flush with the fenders. Maybe a little more than that.

yz85608 · 08-19-2008, 03:12 PM

what is the best BS for a 12" wide wheel
the rim has a 59mm offset

How wide are your wheels?

SHROP · 08-19-2008, 09:59 PM

pics would make this thread wayyy better

02_Black_XBlazer · 08-19-2008, 10:20 PM

Here's what Brutus' C5 rims looked like on my truck w/ 2.25" spacers..Those rims are making the rounds through the S10forum community, George!

BTW, Brutus...you never did send me those pics, how ya like 'em?

SHROP · 08-19-2008, 11:03 PM

tim if i get those rims think they will still let me lay out?

Daveman2 · 08-20-2008, 01:26 AM

Here are mine, true C5s, 17X8.5 and 18X9.5, on 255/45 and 295/35 Kumho Ecsta Mx Rubber.

SHROP · 08-20-2008, 08:58 AM

I was pretty sure those where my old wheels...just didnt know how many Brents there was in IL.

Ok so the fronts were 8.5in wide.

what about these? they are 18x8.5 in the front and 19x11 in teh back, the spacing is on the ebay

4point3 · 08-20-2008, 07:59 PM

what corvette wheels will fit on 4x4 truck without sticking out in the front?

02_Black_XBlazer · 08-20-2008, 10:32 PM

Most c5 rims should bolt right up to a 4x4, no spacers neede, without sticking out.

Yup, mine posted above is a 4X4 Chassis and it has 1" spacers on the rear for looks. Without some spacing in the rear the tires tuck in too far and it looks strange, I think a 3/4spacer is best.

SHROP · 08-22-2008, 08:13 AM

still no pics of trucks layed out on these rims.......

nox · 08-22-2008, 10:00 AM

bagged on vette wheels, but not laid out.

SHROP · 08-22-2008, 09:05 PM

so they CAN tuck lol, what spacers ya know?

you'd have to talk to NickWRX, that's his truck, but I think he has 2.25 in front and 2.5 in rear? I don't remember.

dillon_b12 · 08-23-2008, 02:06 AM

C6 18x8.5" all around with 235/55/18s. 4x4 so no spacer required although I have run 1" spacers in rear for better looks.

Criticalbeatdown95s · 08-23-2008, 02:19 AM

i prefer the z06.....they make them in 20's.

coffinator6 · 08-24-2008, 01:19 PM

ill be rockin some of these on my 91 sonoma here in a few months. 18x8.5 and 18x10.5

http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com...5253-m-m.shtml

DragThaFuka · 08-24-2008, 03:25 PM

im looking into these 18x9.5, and 19x10 c6 wheels

what spacers would i need for my 2wd?

02_Black_XBlazer · 08-24-2008, 03:45 PM

I would think at least 2.5"s to clear the tie-rod...

tikals10 · 08-24-2008, 04:09 PM

heres mine 17s all around (tire for the 18s are pricey) 2.25" adapter up front and 2" in back

02_Black_XBlazer · 08-24-2008, 08:20 PM

^^^^
that's about how close my tie-rods were with the C5's and the 2.25" spacers

vince921 · 08-24-2008, 11:50 PM

here are some more..

vince921 · 08-24-2008, 11:53 PM

colbye32 · 08-25-2008, 12:22 AM

heres my 98 s10, 03 c5 rims, 2.5" spacer all round with a 3/3 drop with 255/55/18 in rear and 235/50/17 up front, unlevel driveway but i got more if needed..

here is a cell phone pic of my truck a couple days ago, now running 245/40/18 and 225/45/17 and lowered 5/6 with coils and spindles.

will get some better pics tomorrow, truck is now lower than that, i had the stupid sway bar holding me up a good inch or so..
it now has removed inners, cut fender skins, and relocated stuff under hood.

tikals10 · 08-25-2008, 12:34 AM

going down the road

BlazerXtrm · 08-25-2008, 04:08 AM

2.5" front 3" rear spacers - eibach 2.3" drop springs front / 1.5" rear blocks

Z06 Style C6 vette wheels in stock sizes, offsets and stock size rubber

leroyme · 08-25-2008, 10:36 PM

Anyone have any rubbing issues when bagged with the C5's up front? I'm getting a set of them soon, and have been told that my tie rod will hit, or that I won't clear the fenders. It looks like it has been done before, so any prior experience tips would help a lot.
Thanks,
Matt

vince921 · 08-25-2008, 11:07 PM

inch and 3/4 spacers... stock spindles... notch for tie rods..

Driveway Kustoms · 08-26-2008, 10:20 PM

so do u guys with 3 inch drops have much of a problem with rubbing, my 2 inch looks a lot lower than yours and I dont have zq8 springs or anything

yz85608 · 08-27-2008, 01:22 AM

is there anyone with the C6 ZO6 Wheels with the 12" wide back rim?

He used 1.75" up front, 2" in back. Don't know his tire size, though.

denali_on_26's · 09-17-2008, 12:33 AM

onlyunknown · 09-21-2008, 08:10 PM

Ok so who has corvette wheels with drop spindles? Thats my problem that i keep running into is hitting my tie rods. Ive got 2.25" spacers and still hit but afraid to move out any farther with fear of mot being able to lay front out when bagged.

leroyme · 09-22-2008, 01:29 AM

I was told that you HAVE to have stock spindles for the Corvette rims... Just from what I've been told, though.

leroyme · 09-22-2008, 08:46 AM

Or trade someone your drop spindles for stockers!

HILROD · 09-23-2008, 02:02 PM

These are 18x11.5 rears 18x9.5 fronts no spacers.
