Re: Corvette Rims Thread
I guess I'll post my question here as well. 93 Sonoma 2wd.I just picked up a set of stock 1984 corvette wheels 16inch 8.5 inches wide I think the offset is 32mm . Here's a link: http://www.finishlinewheels.com/prodimg/ALY01347L.jpg
The car is getting a 3/4 drop with spindles and 1 inch drop springs leafs and blocks in the back. What do I need to make these fit on my truck? |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
Ok so on my 95 Sonoma. I found a set of those chrome C5's with the staggered 17's and 18's.
I don't know how the truck was lowered and its a 2wd. Im assuming spindles in the front, its really low. I will need at least a 2.25 spacer? Im going to check ebay now but am I sounding correct? |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
you are going to need spacers with any C5/6 wheel on a 2wd. |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
I got a little excited to put the wheels on so i did it early. 2" in the front and 1-3/4" in the rear and no issues. 17x9.5 all the way around with 275/40 tires. I'll get more pics up when i get the truck all put back together.

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
2" spacers let a 17x9 with 265/40's clear the tie-rods on the front of mine but it didn't look like I'd be able to turn the wheel much. I hit the frame with a 2" spacer and 16x8's, 245/50's.
A 2" in the rear isn't enough with an 18x10.5, 295/35 either. They look like they clear when the truck is just sitting there but a member on S10planet tried it and was scuffing the sidewall on the inside with normal driving. I would think a 1.75" with 275's would be the same. Have you tried driving with it yet? The LSx is probably going to move things around alot more in the rear than a 4.3 so I'd make sure you have lots of clearance. Nice truck BTW! |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
Ran C5 "Wagon Wheels" on my 01 Blazer Extreme. These are 17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 on the Vette. 2.5" Spacers all around. 255/40 in front, 275/40 in rear. I 2/2 drop on it. I absolutely despised how small the front rims looked.
Original: ![]() ![]() I had the idea to run the larger 18 x 9.5 all around. 275/40 Sumitomos all around. Looked ALOT better. But still not my bag. Later ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Went with these SSR Competition Forged 2 piece 19 x 10s all around with a 1.25 spacer. 285/35 rear 255/40 front. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() SOOO much better. They really fill out the wheel well right. In the end, Vette wheels are cheap, but spacers arent. And even then they just dont really fit the wheel wells that great. I never had any issues with tie rod contact though. |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
Where are you guys find the spacers in such odd sizes? I've found 2" and 2.5" and 3". I see some of you are running 2.75, 2.25 and others.

Thank! I don't have many pics with the wheels and grille done. As soon as there's not a bunch of snow I'll take a few.

My truck was a 4X4 so it's lowered a lot. It's over a foot lower than it was.

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
Anyone know if an 8.5" wide wheel will be able to turn without rubbing with a 5/6? Or does anyone know a company that makes a less wide C6 wheel?

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
They will fit fine under stock suspension assuming you have an s10. 4wd don't require spacer but 2wd will require them. I think 2.25-2.5 are the most commonly used spacer for vette rims.

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
The main reason I got my vette wheels is cuz you don't have to spend $200 on spacers when you're 4X4, I just got the 1" in the back and it evens it out pretty much perfectly, although I think like a 1/8" to 1/4" shorter spacer would allow for better rear clearance when you run 295s. 4WD 2nd Gen blazers even stock have a wicked stagger, not sure, maybe for turning circle or something, but even stock I think the wheels could use a 3/4" spacer in the rear. You need to stuff some bigger brakes under there, the 19s make the stockers look like drums |

Re: Corvette Rims Thread

Re: Corvette Rims Thread
They chose the rear wheels to be the narrower of the two for handling and turning radius reduction purposes. |
