Default 2005 C6 Rims on 2002 WS6?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I bought some Corvette C6 rims 18x8.5 front and 19X10 rear. Is there any way to mount these on my 2002 Trans Am. I guess I should have asked this before I purchased them. I tried to mount them today and the rears would not go!!! Please Help anyone!!

Someone give me ideas, please!! Do I need to use spacers and the BFH Mod or just the BFH mod. I spent alot of money on these and want them to work.

1.25" adapters/spacers for the rear 19's and depending on the tires size, you probably will NOT have to do the BFH mod. These are what I'm talking about:

Get the spacers and you will be fine. The tire above will have no trouble fitting.

What size are you running on the front?

I'm running 275/[B]30[B]/19 all the way around...I know you're running 18's on the front, so I'm curious with what size you chose.

i'm running the same set up 295/30/19 with 1.25" spacers on the rear, and 255/35/18 with a 1" spacer on the front(to make them flush with the body)..
