Problem 2006 C6 Wheels on 1998 WS6

Folks,

Trying to get the rears to fit and they are hitting the inner fenders hard. Actually can only get 2-3 lugs started.

Lowered 2" and Moser 12 bolt and adjustable panhard.
Went with stock 285 35 19's

Any clues besides beating the total **** out of it? Also no spacers...

What do all the rest of you do.

Thanks

hmm 285's should fit but being lowered and that different rear may be causing the problem. WHats the offset on the rims? Are they flush with the top of the quarter panel?

If they are OEM corvette wheels and not an offset ecsp. for a 98-02 f body then you will have to run spacers

Here they are... I had a friend that had two inch spacers, a little to much. What do you all think?

Here are all of them > http://www.ls1ta.com/ta/wheels

I got some 1" spacers for sale and they should do the trick for getting them wheels to clear.

Also got a Fender roller that I rent too.

I would let gravel pillage my car before I ran mudflaps.
