That's a good question. I'm still not quite sure. My nephew is supposed to come over this weekend with his car, which has the same wheels on it that I've got for the front. My plan is to put one of his on the front of mine so I can mess around with spacers and see where we stand. From what I've heard from others running the same type wheels, I'll probably have to cut them down some... we'll see.
The LQ4/9's are the iron blocked 6.0L motors. My plan ... right now... is to do a L92 head / L76 intake swap and then find an appropriate cam and hope for the best. I met with a guy the other night who is here local (he's actually a new member here, Nick@HPM) and has some pretty radical stuff going on over at this shop ... read, twin turbo Z06... I won't be getting that crazy, but feel pretty comfortable he can steer me in the right direction.
Exciting stuff going on... just no new stuff.... yet.

Herein lies the problem...
Without spacers at the current backspacing the wheel hits the UCA pretty quickly when you start to turn the wheels...
But... you really can't get the wheel on all the way because of this goodness...
It seems like I've read somewhere there is a fix for that though. I need to dig through CarlC's info again and remind myself what he did.
Here's a pic with the fronts on the car.
And one last little present I found tonight... When I went to put the old wheel back on the car I found this little dude hanging out.
I love poisonous spiders... just love'm.
