Re: Corvette Rims Thread
11 wide in the back is going to be pretty tough I would think. I would think that a 3in spacer would work, best bet though is to measure.

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
Hey Guy's
I'm looking for some advice? I've got access to a set of 95 Corvette wheels and tires, front's are 255/45ZR17 and rear's are 285/40ZR17. I want to install them on my 96 S10 that has been dropped 3" in the front and 4" in the rear. What kind of problem will I encounter besides speedo readings.... Thanks 2 |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
Correct me if i'm wrong, but those were on sale for $69.99. That would be $140 instead of $200. That's where i got mine from.
Excuse me, i forgot to add the $20 for 2.25 That's closer to $200Last edited by iroc2nv : 08-18-2009 at 05:06 PM. |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
Mines got C5 rims. 17's up front with 4" spacers. 18's out back with 2.5" spacers. I'm using an 2000 explorer rear with disc brakes. The stock 2000 Cprvette tires fit almost perfect but I had to cut a little off the flaes under the edge....Jim

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
Mine are spaced out as far as I could go for better stability in the corners. Works well....Even my neighbors 04 Vette has a hard time keeping up with me. But I always never tell everything I do...LOL...Jim

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
ZQ8 suspension trucks with better tires handle incredible. The camper adds needed weight to balance out the back. I used to chase a guy I worked with in a Porsche 944 around back road curves on my way to work as well as a guy with a 99 Camaro SS. Both were amazed I could hang with them when they tried to lose me. This was in my 00 Xtreme x cab 4.3 auto with a fiberglass tonneau on the back and Z rated 245/50/16 rubber.

Re: Corvette Rims Thread

Its not a bad idea... My friend buys them all the time for his GTO... You can find some decent tires with 85% + tread life still on them for pretty cheap! |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
ive had good luck with kumhos in the past, and the ASX's are rated pretty well, plus they are relatively inexpensive (well, $164 each isnt eactly cheap...lol)...i need all season tires since i will be leaving the rims on year round.

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
^^ Not always. Discount Tire/America's Tire has some good customer service policies.
I got a bolt through my sidewall last month and had to replace a tire. I was only at half tread so I got my new tire "pro-rated" and they gave me half off a brand new one. Still cost me $60, but I was a lot happier than paying $120 for it. I'm not sure what their policy is on swapping tires out after half-life though. |

![]() 245/40/18 Front with a 2.25 Adapter 285/35/19 Rear with a 2.5 Adapter I probably should have got a 45 series for the front tire, but I got a good deal on this size so Ill just run them till they wear down. |
