Default Help me develop a game plan for fitting oem C6Z wheels on my Fbody

I ordered some. Still need to get tires and everything but want to get a good idea of what I'm likely going to have to do to make them fit without causing issues. I know I'll likely need to roll the fenders, center the rearend and do some BFH'ing, but I want to get a little more detailed. I'm running a Koni/BMR setup with Founder LCA's BTW and I'd prefer to run 325's but may go smaller but IDK yet.

1. Do you need to roll both front and rear fenders?

2. Is there any cutting likely to be involved and can I keep bumpstops? If not can you relocate some bumpstops?

3. What part in the wheelwell causes the most clearance issues?

4. What kind of hammer should I use to BFH with as I don't want to tear anything up?

5. Is the best way to check clearance to take the springs out and jack the rearend up?

Thanks for any help and advice.

Yes, same cap. The silver painted ones are identical, but the polished ones have a polished metal cap on them.

Jeep bumpstops, rolled fenders, BFH, some grinding, tubular lca's and a can of black undercoat spray. And no spacers with 325-30-19's.

And the most problem area is front of the rear wheelwells.

Thanks for the help. I never new that Keep bumpstops would work, but that's pretty cool.

That looks badass. Very nice! Did you have to roll your front fenders or just the rears? I have tubular LCA's but they are a little bit on the larger size of the tube used on aftermarket control arms so I hope the clear.

Yeah I ordered polished wheels. I really wanted the painted wheels but found a pretty decent deal on the polished ones I ordered. They do seem to be harder to get center caps for them compared to painted or chrome. I really want to put the round center SS logo pieces in black with the red SS lettering to match my car on these center caps but it seems that the only polished caps I can find are OEM Vette capscenter.

BTW what lugnut are y'all using that look good but also make the wheels hard to steel? Getting a unique lug key would be nice.

Do you have a picture from the rear? I am wondering how much the wheels stick out past the fender, thanks.
