Default Just got some 305's on my z06 replica rears and they do not fit :)

Well they don't fit that well anyways, I banged alot on the fenderwell and they just barely clear but when I floor it they rub again, Ill try pounding some more but just incase I cannot get them to fit where can I get some spacers? I only need like a quarter inch if even that.


I think a 305 on an 18x10.5 is pretty damn close to the limits of the stock fenderwell. If any of you guys can chime in on how to make them fit or if you have gotten them too it would be great!!

it's either your offset or if your car is lowered and you dont have a PHB i have 18x10.5 on 305 35 18 nitto DR's and they dont rub at all. the only problem i have is it taps the inside lip of the quarter during major suspension travel. but thats a given since my fender isnt rolled in. but i do have around 1-2 inches on the inside for clearance

I got it to fit with more hammering and cutting off the bumpstop, Im telling you guys though it was a close damn fit, I got the BMR springs so its only lowered about 1 inch or so. These damn cars have so many problems

there are SO many different offsets available for the z06 replicas. Just depends on who made it. 50-56 fits all day, 56-61 and you run in to probs. Adj PHB helps a ton

Todd I actually based my rims off of the old black z06 replicas you had on your ride, same offset and I even bought em from you guys too


I checked that old thread and the offset is 58mm so thats what did it.

yea, the 58 was all we had at the time, and I think now too...with the black wheels. I couldnt run over a 295 without a sledgehammer
