c6 wheels on 98 camaro
Just wondering if the bolt patterns match up. i tried searching and could not find anything. I'm sure theres a previous tread about it or maybe i'm just asking a dumb question.

Either way, thats a huge spacer on stock studs and you really should swap them out. It's fairly easy to do.

If you use that big of a spacer, you should be using a longer and stronger wheel stud. Even if you can get the wheel on the stock stud, the spacers and extra width will stress the stock studs too much. I would recommend going to a 3 1/4" stud. ARP (and JEGS) has them in the M12-1.5 stock thread, or you can go standard and get the 7/16-18 or 1/2-20 fine thread in the 3-1/4" length. Just be sure to get the Knurl head that is .509 which is the size F-bodies take.

No...this is the type of spacer/adpater I'm talking about. It bolts to the stock studs and then you bolt the wheel to the new studs:

Very cool, I've not seen those before. It looks like it would be pretty secure. Do you think it being that much wider is will affect the wheel hubs? I know the guys who run 315 in the front chew through front wheel hubs all the time. Curious as to what you thought?

I ran those 1.25" spacers on all 4 corners because I was running C6 19x10's all the way around at one point. NO BFH mod was required at all when I used these spacers. The 275/30/19 tire made it a VERY rough ride, so I didn't keep them too long. However, I never had any problem with the spacers at all. I got mine off of eBay for around $60 per pair. However, there is a company that makes one just like it, but it's hub-centric as well, but they're also TWICE the price. I never had any problems with my eBay spacers, but some seem to think that hub-centric is even better and prevent vibrations, etc.
