that has the deep hole we are talking about. where the lugs go its "sunk in more" than a regular 9" or 9.5" wide wheel. the newer style 11's arent that deep in the center. the look just like the 9's and are about 1" wider lip where the tire goes and between the spokes. its hard to explain i guess.

I had a set of black Grand Sport Offest with the 11's in back that had the deep center. Look for some that are made for the Corvette and not for camaro and I think you'll find what you're looking for. The camaro needs that extra room for the center cap to stay on and not push against the hub...

TXAgZ28, what stuff did you do to prevent rubbing those 11's in the front? I'm trying to do the same w/ my Firebird, but I'm not sure what needs to be done. No amount of fender rolling will stop the tires from hitting the outer fender, right? I'm guessing that I'd need to get stiffer springs/shocks to fix that.

In the rear, I use 7/32" spacers and ARP studs. I rolled the rear fenders with the Eastwood tool.

I found some trouble spots with screws/metal in the wheelwell for my Firebird. I'll post pics later. I'm using +36mm offset.
Have you heard any odd noises when turning the steering wheel lock-to-lock? When I turn the wheel all the way to the left or right, I hear a strange noise from the front whose location I can't pinpoint. At first I thought the tire might be hitting a belt or something else that's moving, but I can't see or feel any moving/rotating objects near the tire. The tire does make contact with the front of the wheelwell, but there's no noise if I push that wheelwell in with my fingers, and I can't imagine the power steering making that sound and not being able to move the wheel further into that wheelwell.
Any input would be appreciated, tia.
