C6 Wheels on lowered car I can get an awsome deal on a set of C6 vette wheels. they are 18" for the front and 19" for the rear. I have eibach prokit springs on the car and was wondering if anyone has tried this. i think it would look awesome. i dont know about clearance issues though. any help would be appreciated..

There was someone here on the board that got that set.
She (Teri9672) had to do ALOT of modifying to get the rims to fit properly.
Do a search and you will see what I am alking about.

When you say "a lot" what are the details? I understand one has to use a wheel adapter between 1 and 2 inches to compensate for the offset. What else would you have to do?

Why wouldn't these work?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7988349717

All depends on the look you want. My husband is very picky and will only do what looks factory.
I guess you can just buy those and see if it works
