I did use 2" spacers on the rear and 2,250" spacers the fenders and tubs were stock, I would use 2" front and rear if you want to get the rear tires more space to tuck up in the rear wells more, I ran wide in the rear because I knew we were going to fatbottom the car

I have some on mine- i just use them as rollers though. Here are some pics of 17x9.5 & 17x11 ZR-1 Wheels vs the rollers I have now- C4 17x8.5 & 18x9.5

The 18's in the rear are seriously narrow-

Is a 2" spacer safe to run on a street car? Obviously you want a hub-centric spacer but still. With my racing I won't touch a spacer larger than 1/2"

I test fit some ZR1s like posted above and saw the big gap, just though it was too much to fill in with a spacer. Would love to put the new C6 ZR1 wheels on my 67..

2" adapters are safe. The ones that actually bolt to the lugs and then the wheels bolt to the adapters. I know there's quite a few people on the board racing with wheel adapters.
