Default y2k vette wheels on a 98 ta

I am looking into getting a set of y2k rims for my ta. Will 275's fit all the way around on these rims? I want to have the same size all the way around, so if 275's won't fit all the way around what will?

yea 275's fit...you will need spacers..there is a black ta that has 295's all the way around but he has replica 18x10.5 y2k rims...you are prolly talking about the 18x9.5..and yea 275's fit on these just fine...i can't remember what the recommended spacers are...you really don't need them but the wheels are kinda back in the wheel well...so it looks a lot better with the spacers...

Are there 17 x 9.5 y2k wheels? I don't know if I really want to do 18's. If there are 17 x 9.5's, where can I find them? I kinda looked on ebay, but only found 17 x 8.5's.

Hey man

lot of shops carry the 9.5's for the Z06 but I did find a sponsor here . . Fast Toys . . . .carries the 17x9.5 . . .for the Y2K wheel . . .a take off by OE Concepts . . . .hope that helps . . .I have Vet wheels on my SS and they sit inside the fender well a little (18's in rear with 275/35/18). . . hits on the inside of the wheel when I corner at the limits . . .a one inch spacer would fix it . . .I have been looking at a number of wheel tire combos so I never got the spacer . . .If I was keeping em it would bug me from a looks stand point . . .

Check Ebay, I am pretty sure they have Y2K replicas with the correct offset. There are also 17s and 18s.
