I actually have one question for you. Where did you get the studs and what length? I assume mine will have to be a bit shorter due to my offset being less than yours.

Nice write-up and sweet car! Too bad they won't fit 17's

I guess I'll have to find some 18's I like...

The studs I got came with the wheel spacers in the Eibach Pro-Spacer kit, so I'm not sure on the exact length, I didn't measure them. They only make the Camaro/Firebird kit in 15mm, so even though you need 3mm less, thats all you can really get unfortunately.

So the spacer kit comes with new studs?

Do you know if the spacer kit is a hubcentric kit or does it use the studs to center the wheels?

Very nice write up. I will make it a sticky here in a second, for sure a great resource with all the part numbers and pictures.

FYI..I can get those rotors ALOT cheaper through my local dealer connection for my business. If anyone sends me their CTS-V calipers to be powder coated for this conversion project, I will extend the majority of that discount to you and order the rotors, saving you money. Not going to do this unless I'm working on your calipers, would be something I'd do for customers only.

Exactly, you answered the question.

Studs included, and it is hub centric - which is critical when using wheel spacers.

One more question for you, Wes. I searched Advance Auto for the spacer kit using the part number, but the search came back with nothing. Is there any other number on the box that I could use to ID them on Summit? Summit has a TON of these kits... lol

You would probably have to go to the store itself, I don't think the numbers will work on the website because they are a factory direct order.

I checked Eibach's website, Eibach's part number is 90.6.15.033.1, and thats the number that was stamped on the box.

Found them for $129 shipped. Did a bunch of shopping around and that seemed to be the best price. Thanks for the info, though! I'll keep them in mind for next time!

18" wheel, 56mm offset (stock F-body offset), 15mm wheel spacer.

So the total offset, with the spacer, comes out to 41mm.
