Rubbing Problem

I have a 98 Camaro and i just bought 98 vette "Wagon wheels" a few weeks ago... Just got a chance to put them on dismorning and the backs rub terribly... The fronts only when I turn the wheel all the way... I know people put much wider tires on there cars(wagon wheels r only 17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 back)...just wanted to know how to fix this. Also I was told that because its a camaro and not a vette that i should put 275/35's on the back and they r 275/40's on there now...could that be the problem? or do i need spacers...and if i do how much? please help me out...just got these wheels on and i cant even enjoy them

Research is your freind . . . the 18" Wagon wheels have a 65 mm offset, which does not fit on a F-Car. You need to buy some wheel spacers or adapters. Anywhere from 3/8" to 1" . . . and that will also require longer and stronger wheel studs.

Get 1" bolt on spacers and you should not need longer wheel studs. Anything less you will need longer wheel studs as they will not bolt on to the existing studs.
