Anyone put some on their LT1 cars? I have some SS ZR1s that aren't fitting the best. What did you do to make them fit?

The lip thats in the center of the wheel hub has too be sanded down competely you have too do that for the back wheels, but the front ones should fit with no problem!

Yup, the front ones fit no problem. That was pissing me off yesterday. I just did suspension and got these new wheels and it's all i needed to drive the car again lol! Can I just use a metal file and take care of that? I don't have a dremel or anything..

jayweasel

nah not really its going too take a little more then a file otherwise you'll be there all day

jayweasel

You'll have too use a high speed drill of some sort the file will take too long i used a cardbite bit and a drill for it and it cut it really good was done in like ten minutes with it, then i went back and used a sandpaper wheel too finish it up. But no matter what the lip has too come completely off for them too fit on

I know this is a really old thread but I ran into the same problem on my lt1 last night putting on the ten spoke ls1 ss wheels on. Would a drill and a wire metal cup brush be enough to shave theback lip down? It says 'for aggressive metal cutting' but I don't know if a cup brush would be strong enough. Any insight?

Weird you guys had to use dremels n such. I put OEM 10 spoke SS wheels on my moms 95Z and it took MAYBE 30 seconds each wheel with a regular file. Maybe the ZR1's are require more grinding.

That's what I have...the oem ten spokes. They almost fit but not quite enoug to get the lugnuts on properly. If you used a file I assume a wire cup brush should do the trick? Would it matter that the tires are 285s?

No 285's should fit just fine. Im not sure if a wire wheel cup brush on a drill would do it. there meant more for cleaning up surfaces not removing material. If you have a file it wont take you long at all.

Ok fair enough. It just seems like itd be difficult to do the center of the back of the wheel with a file. The outside lip could be angled but I don't know how you'd file the center of the hub.

airfix

I Guess I should have said a rounded edged file (one side is flat the other side is rounded). Just file around the Hub hole evenly removing small amounts until the wheels fit.

10spoke SS rims fit on my 95 Vette without any mods, I thought this only had to be done, if you were putting Vette rims on a F-body?

ls1 wheels have to be sanded to fit LT1s f bodies only

Got it! Never tried, just slapped them on the Vette. For those wondering 10spoke SS rims looked great on a C4

not quite true, I put the 02 ws6 wheels on my 96 TA and they bolted straight up. No filing, beating, cussing etc etc

I don't know bud... If it wasn't already done, LS1 wheels need to be opened up a bit to fit the rear LT1 hubs only.

Yep yall are right the centers needed to be filed in the center but are on and look great!

Yep the centers have to be filed a bit but it was a breeze and took about a minute but now they're on and look great!
