Back car onto a set of ramps, I prefer Rhino Ramps. Ideally a lift works the best. . .
Then take two lengths of string with a small weight on one end. The strings should be long enough so that when taped to the quarter panel, centered over the wheel, weight is just past the center cap.
The on each side of the car measure the distance from the string to the center cap, if the distances are different, adjust the panhard as required.
Tighten lock nuts and you are good to go!

Hello everyone, I have a question. I have a 2000 Camaro Z28 at the stock height. I am going to be ordering black-machined face 35th anniversary SS rims that are 17 x9 with a 50mm offset. I am under the impression that the rims will easily fit, but there will be a "ugly" gap between the outer fender and the wheel well. If anyone can tell me what size spacer I need, or if I need a spacer and studs, what combination will give me a nice appearance...I would greatly appreciate it. I plan to run 275/40/17's in the rear and 265/40/17's upfront.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The rears, if a spacer was the route you wanted to got a 1/2" to 3/4" spacer, with longer studs needs to be run.

Thanks for the info. Do you know the size of the largest tire that will fit on these 11" rims without a problem? Something smaller than 315-35-17?
Thanks again for the help.

Question about 19inch wheels and tires?
Can you safely put 285/35/19's on all 4 corners of a Camaro. I calculated that the over diameter of the entire tire would only increase by 1.21 inches over the 275/40/17's that are on there now but I'm not sure if that would fit. My goal is to get bigger wheels and tires to fill in the fender wells and to actually get the car off of the ground a half inch higher...headers hit sometimes.

I got a 2000 Camaro SS that is lowered with goldline springs. About a 2 inch or so drop. I want to put 18x9.5 Z06 wheels on all four corners with 275/35/18 tires. Will these work with absolutly NO modifications what so ever? Also what offset will look best? Looking for the wheel not to stick in to far or stick out past the fenders! Thanks in advance!
