Re: Corvette Rims Thread
Those are definitely aftermarket rims, so they could be made for a freakin Honda with no problems! They look good on your truck, though! They're not true Vette rims, though.

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
They are C5 Z06 Offsets. They are Factory Reproductions. I tried 17 on the front, but they hit the tie rods. The 18 clear by a lot.

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
'03 ZO6 wheels with stock vette rubber - 265/40-17 front, 295/35-18 rear.
Test fitting with some 2" spacers I already had (Z85 leafs, 3" blocks) ![]() They clear but it's tight, I'll probably go with a 2.5" spacer ![]() Front clears tie-rods fine (stock spindles, ZQ8 coils) but they'll probably rub the frame on tight turns. 245/50's on 16" trans am wheels rubbed a bit with the same spacer. Snow is down so I haven't test driven them yet. ![]() |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
according to what everyone on here is saying, if the sawblades have the same backspacing as the c5's, im not sure if they do tho, that 2.25 will work but will sit under the fender so 2.5 is more of a preferred choice, at least thats what im understanding from this whooole looong post

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
here is my 98 blazer 4dr 2wd, i have 2.5" spacers all around front are 245/45/17, rear are 275/40/18, 3/3 drop right now, plan on going lower, possibly 4/5, i guess i might have to get a smaller spacer for at least the fronts.

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
OK, more dumb questions. I pulled the rims off my Vette when I sold it. Would like to throw them on my Sonoma. All 4 are 18x9 with 6.5" BS. I'm lowered 4/5 on spindles and springs. So many differing opinions on spacer size. Any thoughts?

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
same, usually 18x9.5 in the front at most. since they are AWD they would run 18x9.5 at all four corners with the same tire sizes, or at least have the same tire diameter if they were to run something staggered. there wa a guy on syty.net running a 18x9.5 in front and 18x12 in the rear....i think it was a 335/30/18 rear tire, pretty small
