Tires rubbing HELPP I just picked up some z06 wheels from a corvette 18x9.5 in the rear 58mm offset with 275s on them and they rub the bump stop and the inside wheel well a little. Just need to know how big of a spacer/adaptor to pick up. I know you can BFH it and remove the bumpstop but i'd rather not have to do that. The smallest adaptor I could find on ebay was 1" and i was wondering if that would push the wheel too far out from the hub that it would hit the fender. All help is appreciated!

I just found this post that says those wheels work with f-bodys https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...-question.html your car must be special or something. The sticky says 38mm to 56mm work on the rear, I think you could get away with a thin spacer to move the wheels out a couple millimeters.

hmm doubt my car is special haha i think your right with the spacer but have heard a lot of bad things about spacers which is why i was looking into adaptors. the smallest spacer ive found is a 1/4 inch and i feel that would take up too much of the bolt. any opinions would be great on spacers also.
People recommend that you go with longer wheel studs if you use spacers that thick. I know they make thinner spacers than 1/4". I think one of my friends is using some that are 1/16" I have no idea where he got them from though.
