Hey guys, I just got myself a 2000 v6 camaro about a 1 month and a half ago and I recently bought some 18inch C6 corvette wheels (275s) and it rubs in the back. I bought myself a pair of 1 inch spacers that have their own bolts attatched to them. Well, the problem I had was that the stock bolts went beyond the spacer and did now allow me to put in the wheel all the way on the spacer. I was wondering what possible solution I could have for this without having to change my tire size and without it costing me too much money. But, of course, if it will cost me more money or the only way is to change my wheel size then so be it. Also, if there is no solution involving these spacers, then they are for sale at
$70 - shipped -paypal only! they are 5x4.75s and its one pair of 1inch spacers!

Thanks!!

 

so the tire rubbed on the inside? if you not planning on switching back then cut em off.

 

Yeah tire rubs on the inside, cut what off? the stock bolt parts that stick out beyond the spacer?

 

you arr talking about the wheel studs and not the lug nut right?

 

You throwin' in a little pirate speak there?
An air cutoff tool would make quick work of the wheel studs. Torque the spacers down with the lug nuts and whack off (the rest of the wheel stud that is).

 

Yeah the studs stick out and I guess cutting off the rest of the studs is doable. I don't have the tool to do it myself but I'm sure I can find someone who does. As long as no damage is done, it should be fine. I was just wondering if this was a common problem people have, I mean other people say they have 315s on the back but I rub with 275s maybe it b/c mine is a V6 and it's somehow different?

 

seems like 1 inch is a bit much, did you measure to make sure the wheel will be centered? like a shark you caught that little slip 69. lol

 

I kind of tried it on as much as I could with the 1 inch it seemed fine considering the studs stuck out about a quarter inch beyond the spacer. As for making sure the wheel will be centered, I do not know what you mean by that. I really am a complete newbie so yeah....forgive my ignorance haha.

 

try a search and see if you can find the way. i found it once by accedent i think on the tire rack website. you can take the stock rims and measre the width, inside edge to inside edge, then measure form a certain place on the inside of the wheelwell to the inside edge of the outside of the rim. subtract half the width of the rim and you have center. lol. long day fishing.

 

^ Jeez, you're starting to sound like a politician trying to cornfuse. You're not a Democrab, are ya?
Are you thinking about a zero offset reference? That would be where the hub mounting surface lines up to the wheel's center.
Or....were you referring to where wheel center falls on the axle?
