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..

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
