F-body 19x12 Z06 rears, control arms and relocation brackets I have a bit of a head scratcher here.
I have a 2000 Trans am, lowered on Vogtland springs which is not a huge drop but substantial. I bought a set of OEM z06 wheels and am doing the BFH mod, aftermarket control arms so the wheel doesn't hit the arm and was considering doing bolt on arm relocation kit to keep better suspension geometry.
My question is will the relocation bracket cause a new interference with the 19x12 wheel

Those wheels are not, at all, a good fit on the back of a 4th gen. They have far to much offset and are 2.5" wider than the biggest stock wheel that ever came on the car. Also they are taller. I know I have lots of those rims around because I have a C6Z. And I had a Camaro too.
On the Camaro I ran a 17x11 40 offset, and it still rubbed without using spacers when on a PHB. On a Watts link I could remove the 3/8" spacers. These wheels have far more backspacing and sit much further in.
Long story short, the control arms won't hurt, or help the fitment of those wheels. I talked to a guy today running the same thing and he's already up to 1/2" of wheel spacer and that's still not enough with 305 tires on those rims.

I've got mine to fit with a 3/8" spacer, trimmed bumpstop, roll fender lip and a littler hammering of the inner fender well.
I am running 325/30/19s. I just wanted to get as much clearance as possible because currently it is only 3mm from the LCA. My previous car had less clearance than that but it also had an independent rear suspension so travel was a lot different
