I have sets of both 30/18 and 35/17 and spacers to put them in the same place. Couldn't tell you on where to get the 1/2" as they came with the wheels when I bought them used. I know I have an extra pair but I'm not sure if they are the 1/2" or 3/4" spacers.

Used the same studs as above, you can get them from anywhere including Strano.

Thanks again guys!

If they are 3/4" spacers and OP doesn't need them, I'd be interested in them. Please let me know.


How many turns of the nut are you getting and what was/is stock engagement?

I ran two different tire sizes on the rear on a Strano/Koni setup with C5 DD wheels: 18x9.5 54 offset, 18x10.5 56 offset.

First sizes: 275/35R18 Front - 295/40R18 Rear - no issues with a 15 mm spacer on rear

Current sizes: 275/35R18 Front - 315/35R18 Rear - no issues with a 15 mm spacer on rear

That is stock engagement with 20mm spacers. I did the math prior to purchase

On a Camaro or Bird? One of the above posts says the Birds have more room in the wheel wells than Camaros have.

That looks like it would fit a Camaro, or at least the rear would. With enough effort you can make anything work though, the new wheels I ordered will stick out an extra 40mm over what I have now.

1/2" and a +54 is 41.7mm
15mm and +56 is 41mm

I'll have to try to remember to check the spacers I have left when I get home from the event tomorrow. Probably be very tired though so no promises.

I already got the tires, picked up a sweet deal on a set of Pilot Sport 315/30-18's.


So I'm about to pull the trigger on these parts, are they correct?

same exact studs and spacers i have. i pressed out the studs (which you will have to do as well) then just use it as a spacer.

Installed:
12mm hub centric spacers
2.5" 12x1.5 .509 knurl ARP wheels studs
1.38" 12x1.5 Rocket Racing lug nuts

***NOTE:
-When removing rear studs if you have 4 channel ABS you can just remove the sensor and push the studs through there without removing axles. Will need to grind heads of studs down to pass by the ABS reluctor wheel on removal and install
-3 channel folk will need to either remove axles or drill backing plate to have the studs remove/install

Used these for stud removal and rear rotor removal


Used a Lisle stud installer for the stud install, a MUST. Lets the lug nuts actually rotate when pulling the stud in. I tried using multiple washers. Just chewed the washers and/or the junk zinc coated OEM lugs


Studs



Since I have the ARP 2.5" studs... I discarded the studs in the spacers and just used the spacers themselves

Oh,well then,now it all makes more sense. I won't have time to do it myself so I'll find a shop that can handle the job correctly. I don't know if I have 4 channel ABS but I'll find out. Car is at the tuner right now getting a bunch of work done on it, probably there for a couple more weeks.

dojob

do you have the tcs button on the dash? that's 4 channel abs.

it's super simple if so. without it, you need to pull the axles.

I don't think it does,I've only driven the car less than 1000 miles since I bought it last Sept. Spent all winter in the garage then we had an awful Spring with non stop rain,soon as it got half way decent outside (May 1st) I sent it off to the shop for a bunch of upgrades and it's still there.
I never thought he'd have it this long but he's the best in the NW and I want it all done right so I'm being patient.
I spent all Winter buying goodies for it so it's a pretty long list.

275/18 in the front.....on 18 x 9.5 rims.

So is anyone running any brake upgrades on there wheels? I was looking at these and they seem to be similar size and bs as the ones you guys are running. Any in put on running 17/18 or just 18 all around? Car is currently stock, want something I know will last for years. Was going to try and get tires this weekend during 4th sale at discount tire.

I am running 18x10.5 brushed C6 5 spoke knock offs with some 315 Rival-S on all 4 corners. I am running a 15mm spacer up front with no spacer in the rear. I had to add the spacer up front to clear my 5th Gen Brembo setup.

James Worgull

So the brake issue is more with the inner face, not diamater issue? You are running same wheels and tires on all corners?

Chrisingermany

Correct. The spacer is needed to clear the brakes from the rear face of the wheels. Same wheel/backspace on all 4.

James Worgull

Awesome thanks. I just need to decide if I want smaller wheels up front or same all around.

Chrisingermany

If you are going with a big brake setup up front I would go with a 18" as there are very few 17" wheels that will clear.
