Default C6 grandsport wheels on 99 ss

I picked up my 99 ss about a year ago and ever since Ive wanted to get wheels for it. i like the look of the stock zr1s but wanted something more uncommon.
I started looking for a set of c6 z06 spyders but after coming across a very good deal on low mile take off grandsports i couldnt pass it up.

before picture


I knew it would take alot of work to fit once i opened the box


test fitting




after

What kind of spacers did you use to make the rims fit?

It currently has a 1/4" spacer on only the right side because the rear isnt centered. Once my adjustable panhard bar shows up no spacers should be needed.

I did need to get offset lcas and i ground down some of the high spots around the bumpstops. Bumpstops are still there for now.

Yea I needed to bfh but not really as much as I thought I would have to. Fenders are fine right now because I'm still at stock ride height. I'm sure they'll need to be rolled once I lower it

See how it looks by lowering the front first. The rear doesnt look too bad.
