Default Question about rims

I have a 2000 Pontiac Trans am ws6.

What kinds of problems am i going to have? Are they going to fit.

What can I look forward to?

yes they should fit. What offset did you get?
I got 19" rear and 18"front too and they fit nicely.

How wide are they and what's the offset for them? Did they come from a aftermarket company or did they come off of a actual C6 Corvette? Need a little more info to help figure out what's going on as to why there not fitting. Did they hit the inner fender when you put them on to cause the studs to not be long enough or are you running a different set of wheel studs?

Probably stock take-offs with high offsets. Most people use a 1" spacer/adapter in the front and 1.25" rear

This is worldwide forum...doubt most of these people know where Fulton is... Lol.

Odd that the studs weren't long enough. That's normally not an issue until you have to run spacers. Then, depending on the width of the spacer, you're forced to run the longer studs. Not a huge deal...putting new studs in is easy, but if you're replacing studs you might as well go with ARP and nothing ARP is cheap.
