Quick question before I drop the $$ for F1-DS-3G's, Will 285/40/17's have any issues with fitting, or will they throw off my speedo?? God knows I dont need anymore tickets!!

Btw they are going on a 9in "SS" rim

They will go on, although with a GSD3 I wouldn't recomend them for a 9" wheel.

A 285, will throw your speedo off.

The 275/40ZR17 GSD3 is HUGE compared to others 275's . . . just FYI

Andy, you have any idea what Tom Henry is running for an offset oh his 18" TT2's on his red vert?(18x8 front/18x10 rear) What is your opinion on 18x10's all around? I leaning toward this wheel, since the Corvette rotors need a bigger TT2 wheel.

Thanks Andy.

Yep. Pretty much a direct swap. The only possible issue, that you may experience is the "hub" button on the rear axles on the LT-1 cars can run a little large, so the center "hole" on the wheel center may need a small bit ground off.

I want the C6 motorsport rims in 19x10 and 18x9. What offset will I be looking for? also what size tires? These are for my 2000 SS lowered with prokit springs.

The 18" x 8.5" are 54 mm the 18" x 9.5" are 68 mm and the 19" x 10" are 79 mm. As far as I can find.

The 8.5" are the only ones that fit with out the use of spacers. The others will need spacers. There are a TON of posts in the forum, do a search and you will find all your answers and more . . . .

The 18 x 8.5's no.

The 19 x 10's absolutely. Around 1 1/4" adapter.

Dont mean to butt in but Im looking at some rims that are 18X8.5 with a 35mm offset. According to this sticky 38mm is the least amount of offset. These rims are off by 3mm is that really gonna make them stick out. Any Opinions??
