you have to remember that your torque thrusts have an offset of 44mm(may be 46) compared to a 56mm offset on the ZO6 wheels. so they would sit close to half an inch more to the wheel well. plus every fbody is different. some need to bfh or roll fenders, some dont need anything

Looks great.

As for the knock...try seafoam. I had some knock retard and thought I needed a new tune. I tried some seafoam (did not think I needed since I only had a 8k on the engine since the H/C) but it got rid of it. I have Aeroforce gauges aswell. I will look for your thread on it.

I put the spacers on, put the wheels on.. got my shank lugs.. and the shank lugs wouldn't even thread onto the stock studs. So I said hell no, no way I was gonna run that risk.

I had to do the BFH mod to the wheelwell. My wheel offset is much greater than yours, so my wheels sit in a lot farther (closer to the wheelwell)

Thanks man. As far as I know, I don't have a knock problem. I was just asking exactly what "knock" means.

Gotta love 315s on fbodies.. Looks great evilws6. Aeroforce scan gauges are just awesome, tons of options to read, plus shift lights and it can read and clear trouble codes. Probaly why i have two of them in my car.

Damn I never beat my wheel well for my Z06s and theyre OEMs. Same sizes as you, and I ran TT2s with a 17x11 rear with a BFG drg radial before that and didnt have to beat them up.
