[Way_Fast_Whitey]

Do you guys know if c6 wheels will fit on a 68 camaro? Or what your comments would be on that. Post pics if anyone has done it.

Can't help with the fitment question...but I have a set if your interested ;)

[jonnyc]

if you use space/adapters they will work.you need to be ruffly around
5" of backspace.give or take 1/2"

What i know will fit is if the rim is 9.5 wide with a 54mm offset, will work with a 2'' spacer.

Here is my car with c5 z06 wheels, 17 x 9.5 fronts and 18 x 9.5 rear. what sizes are you looking at getting? Or are you looking at getting ones to fit?

Something tells me that theres alot more to the suspension then meets the eye???

[MrQuick]

...and a good eye you have. Its a competetion spin drift car we assembled. Features 1 x 2" Tecx one rims with 35/45/2 's Pilot sports. Suspension is Ballzout ball bearing track II with ARP 1/4" hardware.


We are still working out the acceleration part of the car...without kicking the skates off LOL

[Project69]

Nice, im pretty sure id kill to have my suspenion set-up like that hehe.

Whats under the hood...or what will be doesnt look like an engine is in that yet...

[MrQuick]

LOL, we could hook you up.


No the car was finished and sold last year. LS1 T56 and C4 IRS...just figured out I didn't update the page.

Found a set around here for $1,300. wheels and tires.

[MrQuick]

Good stuff, does it come with spacers?

[Project69]

If there the OEM size then i think they might be to big for stock fenders, adn what not. Cause im pushing 285 on a 9.5 rim in the back with no mods to the fender lips and stock tubs and there really close to both.

For the front im using a 255 tire on the same width rim and i had to take the fender wells out just to turn. So Id find some 18 x 8.5 on the safe side or go with a 9.5 rim if your not planning on cutting the car to make them fit.

I have the C5 replicas that are 17 x 9.5 all around. If I recall correctly I'm running the 2" studded ADAPTERS, not just spacers.

B.t.w. Vince, do you think the adapters a good, bad, ok idea? I got them from VBP and they said guys race with them. This would be for normal street driving and occasional autox?

I don't mean to whore the thread, but I think it could be relevant to the op's question.

Here's a pic of my Project POS.

Adapter spacers are fine. A lot of guys race with them. Just be sure to use a hub centric design (VB 's are) and torque them to proper spec. I like to check mine every oil change. Looks good.

These rims will require work to fit them. Dont get me wrong, they will fit.

[Way_Fast_Whitey]

It's just the wheels and tires. No spacers. I think they are factory Vette wheels.






I wouldn't mind removing the inner wheel wells. But I don't want to cut the rear.

[Apogee]

Factory C6's come with runflats and tire pressure sensors, so make sure you're not paying for those. I picked up a set of 5-spokes off of a 2005 for $275 in decent shape for my Nova project. I'm making wheel adapters front and rear and putting them where I need them. Needless to say, everything is tight with a 19x10 rear wheel with 285/35R19...I plan to cut to fit and possibly lose the front inner fenderwells.

[MrQuick]

APO, that size fronts are you running? Im working in a section width of 11 1/8" tire and can offer some suggestions to keep those wheel wells.

Noooooo...those are the rears. Just running the 18 x 8.5 front C6 wheels with 245/40R18 rubber, same as the Vettes. Sorry for the confusion on my previous post.

Not to hijack, but I am interested how you're getting that wide of a CS to fit and others may as well.
