![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I'm considering to get H&R hubcentric wheel adapters on my Z28 with stock 16X8 5 star wheels. I want to have the edge of the wheel sit closer to the fender especially in the rear.
Questions:
1. If you have pics of wheel adapers (or spacers) on stock 16X8 wheels, please post them and include the size.
2. What's the largest size I should go to avoid rubbing on the fender (for both front and rear)? I've heard that 3/4" is the max for the front and 1" is the max for the rear to ensure no rubbing. Keep in mind i'm at stock ride height and plan to stay there.
Thanks.

H&R 1" hub spacers on the rear w/factory GS-C tires, which run wide so you should be good running the H&R 30mm hub spacers if you have a narrow 245 tires.
IMO, get the rear first and try one up front to get a better idea what size you want to use up front, also go ahead and roll the rear fender lips if you want the wheel pushed out as much as possible, mine are rolled and would have rubbed if the fender lips weren't rolled.
