Default Well, f'd that up pretty well...(fixed)

Trying to put 18/19 c6 wheels on my 2000 trans am.

Everything I read said to get l.25" hub centric adaptors. So I do, and now the wheel won't fit on the adaptor flush to the wheel because I need 70.3mm instead of 70.5 I assume.

So good lesson learned the hard way. Gonna look good if it ever happens.

If it fits, but doesn't sit flush maybe the adapter needs a chamfer to clear the radius on the hub. I don't know if that is what you were trying to say or not.

Spacer bolts flush to the rotor, wheel won't sit flush on the spacer.

The scratched surface is as far as the wheel goes on...

May try no spacerr and see if they fit just to run them

Rears are 285 35 19, spacers are only going on the rear.

She's on stock springs and konis. May just throw stocks back on and sell the corvette wheels.
