reraly need help, have tire and rim issue
newbie will o6 vette rims fit on my 1994 firebird just got them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there, everyone, have a few questions?
Ok, I was real lucky and scored a full set of new 2006 vette rims with good rubber for 325 bucks for all 4. they are like new and still a few summer seasones of rubber left. [not copies real vette rims]
the fronts are 18x8.5 with goodyear runflats 245/35/18 and I think the offset is 56
the backs are 19x10 with goodyear runflats 285/30/19 and I think the offset is 79
Now for the problem I want to put them on my 1994 firebird. The bird has not been lowered, and has not had any other mods just super clean.
The guy I bought them off said they should bolt right up and have no rubbing.
I have done some serarching on this site and others, from what I understand the fronts should bolt right on and have no issues, however my consern is the back rims and tires. I was hopeing that with a 1/4 inch spacer and a couple of hits in the right spot with a bfh would do the job, but I do not know.
I would realy like some ideas and info to explain if i am on the right track, or if I will have to do more then what I was hoping for.
thanks for the help guys,
andrew
Come on guys, someone must have some ideas or info that should help me
