Yea actually mine is lowered alot almost 1.5" in the back and around 1.25" in the front. thats strange urs rub the fenderwell, mine dont hit at all, theres quite a bit of room too it seems everyones is a little bit different. another one of my buddies has a trans am with chrome z06's on, and he had to do a bunch for them to fit too. good luck with it man

depends on the tires and suspension on rubbing issues 1/4 inch spacer is safe to do with stock wheel studs..

i went to 5/16s and new arp studs but needed to have my fenders rolled to keep my 295 bfg drag radials from rubbing car is dropped.,,

now i i got 7/16 spacer with 315 toyo drag radials no rubbing issues and its a really flush look.

stick with 1/4 inch, or else you will need ferder rolling, new studs and wheel nuts spacer all the little things sum up in the end..i think its worth it tho.

you dont need spacers, i ran those wheels. and still do right now (except in chrome now) and YOU DO NOT NEED SPACERS. just take the wheel off and you can see where its rubbing, just take a hammer and hammer it in like 1" in the little area where it is rubbing and your problem is solved.

well I've tried that with minimal success, the 1/8" spacers are on and no rubbing anymore and i haven't noticed the fender lip being touched by the tire so i'm guessing they aren't far enough to do that. i don't like the idea of beating the **** out of my car with anything, so really my problem was fixed with the spacers in my eyes but thanks for your input

yeah those are the argent on the after market sites, the OEM wheels from a vette will either be Speedline or Alcoa. i got the same rims on my car and i'm alot happier i went with these rather than chrome and something tells me the OP feels the same way, check out post #7 lol
