that's probabley because of the 7 inches of back spacing on those suckers....however i have seen some with a 2 or 2.5 inch spacers being used to run them.
have you tried to mount them yet?

 

[87gnttop1]

no not yet ima try one this week end. which one should i check the back or the front i dont mine putting a spacer. the wheels r to cruise around not for racing



thanks Eli

I wouldn't even try it. I wish they would fit but there's too much backspacing.

 

[87gnttop1]

im sure with the right spacer they will work and look good

Using adapters they will bolt up with no issues. Here is a good site for information and how to fit up the proper adapter:

I have installed C6 Vette wheels....18 X 8.5 on front and 19 X 10 on rear on my 84GN with shaved frame rails. Used spacers from Vette Products in Florida. Looks great and handles super. Shoot me your e-mail address if you want photos. I can send them tomorrow from my work PC.

backspacing

here is the pic of the huge spacer need for the vette wheels

 

[miguelito]

the spacer is about 4 1/2 in

Is it safe to run that big of a spacer?

 

[Hot Air]

I'm running a later wheel...see post above. I'm running 1.5" spacer with long GM wheel studs on front and 2.5" rear adaptors from Vette Brakes in Florida (top drawer...quality). I had the rear frame rails shaved by Jack Cotton and trimmed the rear fender molding to clear my new Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s (295/30-19). No rub!

i have 1/2 inch studs on the axle side no problem when driving i wont recommend doing burn out with the spacer.this is a daily driver not a race car.

That there is a accident lookin for a place to happen.......

 

[miguelito]

work in progress

im in the works to notch the rails and mini tub and drop the car more so i can eliminate the spacers .

 

[Scott Atk]

Don't see how you can make up for a 4.5" spacer with a frame notch. I would think it would take major surgery for that to happen.

 

[miguelito]

frame notching and a smaller spacer thats what i meant sorry for the confusion.
