Who has Corvette rims on there ride?

[y-hate]

Just wondering who is running Corvette rims on there turbo regal.....DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YEAR.......i would like to see some pics.. please.......and what size and problems

 

[TurboTnZ06]

I have a Z06 and a grey Turbo T... and I'm always wondering the same thing...what the Buick would look like if I threw the vette's wheels on the Buick. Probably the bad thing is going to be seeing how small the buick's rotors really are...Next week I have to throw new tires on the front of the Z06, so while the wheels are off, I can throw them on one side of the Buick and take a pic...I doubt 265 40 17's with the Z06 wheel's back spacing would work up front without rubbing as my stock buick T wheels with 235 60 15's rub sometimes turning hard.

I went to a rim place the other day and they said they could order a set of Zo6 rims (spoke style)18X9 all the way round, and it would fit , but i want to see what a set of corvette rims would look like before i buy them.. any pics will help

 

[TurboTnZ06]

The Z06 rear wheels are not 18 x 9. They are wider, like 18 x 10.5. I seriously doubt they will fit on the front of a g body without modification. The fronts for the Z06 are 17 x 9.5.

He might have said 18x9.5, with spacers would they work

Guys before you order anything you need to know that Z06 wheels are going to have anywhere from a 7.5" to 8.25" BS depending on the model and fronts vs rears.

I`ve seen a buick regal in my area with the old style (88-89 model i think) corvette rims on it, they fit nice.. do the old stlye have the same bs as the newer zo6 rims?

You need MAJORLY thick wheel spacers to fit any type of 84-newer Corvette rim.

anybody with pics? any size or style

Do a search on TESTMY6. He has (I believe) Centerlines that are VERY close to the ZO6 rims. They are in the top 3 of best looking rims on a GN. When I first saw them I thought they were ZO6 rims. Looks awesome!

Awwww im blushing Thanks

Sulkte design 2" spacers in the rear 1.75 in the front.

I'd run the 1.25 version for years so I could just use one set of the GTA wheels, without a problem.

There is a company I have seen that makes Z06 wheel (same style) in sizes up to 18X10 and in custom offsets. So he probably did say 18" and without spacers. I'll try to do the research and get back with a name.

Corvette rims...

I have 15"X8" "original wheels" that I had made, using some Corvette rims ( approx 1973 -'80). I used only the outer part of the 'vette wheels in which I fitted stock GN center pieces I took off some damaged GN wheels. The look is absolutely perfect! If GM made them, this it how it would have looked!...Like if the car came out of the factory with them!...
Pictures available...just e-mail me.

'bye...Claude

Sorry that took so long. Performance Wheel Outlet has Z06 and ZR1 and Iroc wheels in a lot of different sizes and finishes.

vette wheels

I have a set of mid-year vette wheels in near perfect condition if you're interested. Tommy

Well since i started the post a while back i`ve already purchased a set of Simmon wheels, but the vette wheels still looks good

 

[Mark Frietchen]

Did you determine what 18" wheels will work with what offset and tire. I love the way the Centerline Lazers look but they're dicontinued. I believe the lazers were 17's.

You can order zr1 wheels from slp that will now fit turbo buicks with no spacers required.

They also fit 3rd generation fbody's and S10's. I think they are like 699.00 for a set of 4.
