I'll be picking up a pair of Z06 wheels tonight so I'll be needing a pair of 2" spacers to make them fit up front. I may need them for the back too, but I'm also trying to find a 4th gen rear end so I was planning on holding off with a second pair for now. Let me know what you have.

I plan on using 18x10.5 wheels on the front and back like Stan is so would these be enough of a spacer? I keep getting 2"2.25" measurements needed for the rear. Since I'll be going with the C5 front brake upgrade I'll probably need either 1.5" or 1.75" spacers up front. Here too, with the 10.5" wheel, I'm not totally sure what I would need. I suppose I should send a message to Stan and ask him what sizes he's running.
I've also been considering running 17x9.5 wheels on the street. Would these wheels need the same spacer as the 18x10.5 track wheels? I would think they would since they have the same backspacing but for some reason that doesn't seem right to me. :confused: If I find a fourth gen rear, would I only need ~0.25" spacers in back? I should probably just go out and pull a wheel off and put the Z06 wheel in it's place and measure it... |

You can go as small as 1.5 potentially with the 18's. Strut and tie rod clearance is the limiting factor for the 17's. 18's tuck around that. |
