      Cheapest possible wheel to use with AFX spindles.

      Im having a wheel problem. I bought ZR1's but didnt work out soi sold them. Then i was just gonna throw slicks and skinnies on just so i could drive the car. Those wont clear the C5 brakes tho. What are the cheapest wheels I can use with the ATS spindles? If i dont find something cheap I cant drive my car this year.

      thanks

      Well i had 17x9.5 vette wheels but they just wouldnt work with those spindles. they hit the steering arms and the upper control arm with 2 inch adapters.

      Man, I'm looking for some ZR1's, and live in Mt. P. How much did you sell them for? Silver? Chrome?

      Those cragars are THE cheapest option.

      Those ebay wheels might be an option if i can choose the offset.

      bochnak-I sold the wheels for $440. They were black with polished lip.

      You might try calling ATS and asking if 17"x8.5" C5 wheels with your 2" spacers would work. If all you've done is swapped the ATS spindle for the stock spindle, I'm not sure why you'd think a 9.5" wide wheel would work.

      Theres a few guys on here that have gotten 9.5 inch wheels on there cars from a vette or camaro SS but since the tall spindle moves the upper control arm up it hits it.
