Alright so a guy near where I live is selling a set of C5 wheels from a 2000 Corvette. Alright so here's the questions. Would any special modifications need to be done to the car itself such as wheel spacers or anything? I have a 1999 Camaro RS. I know the tires are 17's in the front and 18's in the back so I know my tires now obviously wouldn't fit so I would have to buy new tires. Would there be any rubbing or anything if I got these rims, with the required tires? Help!

 

You're going to need wheel spacers or adapters.

 

Can you give me a price range on those? And any specific brand?

 

I'm not sure on what size spacers that you'll need or which brand is good, but it'll cost around $100. I got C6 ZO6 wheels on my Camaro, but they're replicas. So they fit no problem. Sorry that I couldn't be of anymore help. I would research what size spacer that you need. What are width of your wheels?

 

C5s if im not mistaken there 9.5 in the rear and 8.5 in the front and i dont think youll need any spacers for those if im right there only 1.5 inch wider than stock and the offset should make up for that

 

Are you sure? I think that I read somewhere that they were 10.5 in the rear.

 

The wheel specs are for mine are; Size : 16" x 8"; Backspacing : 6.875"; Bolt pattern : 4.75"

 

C5 Wheel Specs are as listed

Front:

Wheel size: 17 x 9.5
Offset: +54mm
Tire Size: 265/40/17
Back Spacing: 7.38” (187.35mm)


Rear:

Wheel size: 18 x 10.5
Offset: +58mm
Tire Size: 295/35/18

 

I would go with a 1.25" spacers for the rear.

 

what rims were i thinking of... anyways ya if its a 10.5 deff a 1.25 spacer
