Will these Vet wheels fit? 17s front 18s back. 5 star I think from the C5. I will try to attach a pic, not sure if I will figure it out though.

The back has 315 / 30 on it and the fronts are 245/40 I think. Has anyone put these on? and how hard was it to get them to fit?

Umm, were they directly off a C5 or did you buy them from someone who had em on an F-Body?? IDK if the offsets are correct if they were off a vette......Correct me if Im wrong.

Thats what I meant, I was thinking F-body wheels on a Vette.

so would spacers and longer studs be recommended? i want a set of oem vette wheels but would like them to stick out a little more towards the edge of the fender on the rear for a more aggressive look. looking at it could you tell the difference between having spacers or not having them? oem vette wheels are so much lighter than the repro's i have now, but i refuse to go back to stock z28 wheels lol.

Well my buddy had them from a vet, they are not aftermarket wheels. The off set was not right for these to fit my Z. The inside of the tire hit the bump stop. I'm not looking to cut that down and/or do any hammering. Will just have to wait and get the aftermarket ones that fit right.
