even though their website states that the wheel will fit a 1993+02 fbody I have concerns, as a set of later model rims was installed on my car when I got it only to find the inside lip hacked away with a dremel.


I know you have to do this in order to clear something on the hub when going to newer style rims... but, out of chance does anyone have any experience with OEW and their fitment, and any modifications needed.


here's the set I have been looking at.

17x9.5 you wont have any issues. Once you start looking at the 17x11's make sure its a 50mm offset. If you are lowered, you will have to pound in the iner fenderwells, possibly roll the lip, and remove the bump stop. If your stock ride height, you shouldnt have any issues at all.

I had to open up the inner hub hole with a grinding stone on my oe wheels, but it doesn't take much and I didn't hack it up. You can't even tell by looking at it and it's only the rear that needs this because our hub it bigger than LS1 hubs. Hope that helps.

You barely take off any material to get them over the hub. Same thing if you put ls1 wheels on the rear of an lt1 car.

I didn't have to do anything to make my OE Wheels fit when I ran a set back in 2005. I did have to grind down on my OEM 16" ZR1s a little bit, it really is no big deal. Actually I didn't grind on the wheels anyway, to avoid any future issues I ground down the hub a little itself.
