I just picked up some z06 wheels from a corvette 18x9.5 in the rear 58mm offset with 275s on them and they rub the bump stop and the inside wheel well a little. Just need to know how big of a spacer/adaptor to pick up. I know you can BFH it and remove the bumpstop but i'd rather not have to do that. The smallest adaptor I could find on ebay was 1" and i was wondering if that would push the wheel too far out from the hub that it would hit the fender. All help is appreciated!

well do u have more than an inch between the wheel and the fender?? if you do then it'll be fine if not i have somewhere some 1/4 inch spacers if you want them

I didn't check the space left when I had the wheel on the car, I was hoping someone had already done this or knew.

I don't see an ajustable panhard rod in your sig, i think that would solve the problem. 1" spacer is wayy too big.

that is, unless its rubbing on both sides, then your going to need spacers

im not trying to get a spacer i'm looking at the adaptors which ive seen people have on here all over when i did a search.

Ok i see what your talking about, I have no clue about those things. Are both tires rubbing?

both tires are rubbing the backspacing is for vettes not fbodys which is why its rubbing.

I just found this post that says those wheels work with f-bodys https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...-question.html your car must be special or something. The sticky says 38mm to 56mm work on the rear, I think you could get away with a thin spacer to move the wheels out a couple millimeters.

hmm doubt my car is special haha i think your right with the spacer but have heard a lot of bad things about spacers which is why i was looking into adaptors. the smallest spacer ive found is a 1/4 inch and i feel that would take up too much of the bolt. any opinions would be great on spacers also.

People recommend that you go with longer wheel studs if you use spacers that thick. I know they make thinner spacers than 1/4". I think one of my friends is using some that are 1/16" I have no idea where he got them from though.

hmm ill look into it a bit more and find out exactly how much space i need.
