anyone have fitting issuses????
anyone have fitting issuses???? just curious to see if anyone else that has z06 wheels from tomzwheels had any fiting issuses?i bought 17x9.5 for the front and those fit ok and also have 18x10.5 and the wheel hit the bumpstop.anyone else have this problem?what did you guys do i had to buy spacers and of course with that it made the studs even shorter so i couldnt use the lugs that comes with the rims so i had to use temporary ones.anyone know where i can get longer chrome lugs?and with the spacer will it be ok or should i take out the bumpstop? thanks guys

I dont like the idea of having to jack up the car by the rearend. If the wheels hit the bumpstops thats NOT GOOD. What if you were to hit a bad bump (accidentally of course) and the suspension moved enough for the wheel to come down and hit the bumpstop? Your wheel would be fucked and your tire would potentially be shredded. Maybe thats not much of a concern for those who hardly drive their F-body, but for those who are like me and daily drive theirs,, its definately a good idea to make sure the wheel has plenty of room. I have 18x10.5 C^s in the rear of my car. They hit the bummpstops with the car jack up by the subframe. I installed 5/16" spacers. Not only did it bring the wheel out enough to clear the bumpstop, but the wheel is also not sunken in. which is the case for most corvette wheels on f-bodies.

But IF you cut off your bump stop, and hit a big enough dip/bump the spring will compress too far, forcing the piston of the shock too far, destoy the shock, and depending on you offset of your wheel, smash the tire into the quarter panel and bending the body work. . . .
So either trim the side of the bumpstop of leave it a alone.
michealg589 did you have to get longer studs or lugs? thats the same spacer size i was using thats why im curious. and i payed $2.19 for mine but i work at a tire shop to
I did not use longer studs or lugs. I was told I did not need them and that 5/16" spacers were the largest you could go with stock studs.
And Xsta Z28, Maybe I'm ****, but i dont like the idea that my wheel could, under any circumstances hit my car. I like things to fit right.
