magnesium corvette rims

[redsoxsstink]

my dad was able to score a set of oem corvette rims, 17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 out back. i know the fronts will clear fine, the backs wont. ive been reading up and front what i gathered i can fit the backs fine with a 1inch spacer and a slight fender role. i know alot of people have stuffed 18s in the back, what else needs to be done? my suspension is stock all around and i have no intentions of doing anything to it. thanks

1" spacer is a little much....

With that said, why would you space it out so you have to roll the fender?

dibs on the SS joints.

Really! That is actually very suprising. I wouldnt think you would have any issues.

yea i read that and was like lol wut?

mick, my dad said if i didnt like them hes putting them on his vette but if i decide i like them he might put the 10 spokes on the vette so as of now they arent for sale.

tires will be had next week so might just wing it and try them out

Should bolt right up no problem, might be close on the bump stops though.

BFH mod!! Get a big Fing hammer and hamer in your bump stops if you want them to fit without rubbing. I had to do that to my Corvette Y2K wheels. Bolt them up and see were the hit. Some get lucky and they dont rub at all..

[sweetbmxrider]

Yeah, usually when the suspension is fully extended they hit. Definitely worth checking out.

SOM with the magnesium wheels sure will be an interesting color combo lol
u dont need spacers, just that big ass hammer

it has the potential to be bad ass or a disaster
