What offset front wheels do you have?

Either 40 or 64, I assume?

dont know^ i am running a 1 inch wheel adapter so that the offset is like stock. otherwise the wheels would be too far into the fender

Just did a test fit with 18x10 ccw SP500. Need spacers Hopefully this doesn't make the car look goofy

Did you have to cut off the stock studs to fit a 1 inch spacer?

josepy121380

iTrader: (21)

No I did not. There is an open gap behind my vette wheels so i did not have to cut anything. Worked out pretty slick.

Yeah there was another person on this site that mentioned the design of the replica vette wheels having a concave gap like that which allowed the wheel studs to fit.

Are your wheels OE Wheels Inc?

Thanks again for the help. Based on my measurements it looks like I only need a .75 inch adapter, not a full inch adapter. Considering the gap on the vette wheels, based on your experience, is there enough gap in the wheels to take an extra .25 inches of wheel studs if I get a .75 in adapter?

Yes you would be fine.

I'm not sure which wheel spacers to get, I saw someone had 5/8 and this thread says 1/2.
Anyone else have CCWs that can make this easy for me 18x10" in the fronts

I ran a 15mm spacer (the one listed at the beginning). Since you have it all test fitted, how close are you? I just went with the 15mm bc the p/n was there, could of gone thinner if I wanted.

It looked like it needed a lot, don't know what spacer to get

Do I have to buy new seals if I take the brand new caliper apart to get it powdercoated?

Good question...

I don't see why you would have to pull the pistons out to get it powercoated...should be able to just tape them off.

Even if you do have to pull them out, you should be able to reuse the square cut seals as well as the dust boots as long as you are careful with disassembly.

look like i have enough clearance? the gap 1.4mm

CranMaro99

Oh wow! That's close, isn't it?

What size wheel and width are those, and what is the offset?

jastone

yeah i think it is close too. i am told that 3mm is an exceptable gap. i don't know for sure though. the wheels are 18"X9.5" C6 replica wheels bought from OE wheels. they advertised the wheels as a 56mm offset but when i got the tires mounted i noticed 58mm stamped on the inside of one of the webs. each wheel has this 58mm stamped on them. i called OE wheels and asked if the 58mm on the wheel was the correct offset or if the 56mm they advertised was. they told me they aren't sure and that 2mm will not make a difference. i told them that for what i was doing with my brakes 2mm makes a HUGE difference!!! also i have the 15mm eibach spacer mounted here also. if you don't want a spacer you'll have to find 18"X9.5" wheels with a 41mm offset. that has to be the exact size, if you go with an 8" rim 41mm offset the caliper still will not fit.
