Re: Show off your Wheels

1995 Corvette ZR1 wheels. I used two sets of front wheels. 17x9.5 -52mm offset. 275/45-17 on all corners. I powder coated them Speedway Grey with Casper Clear topcoat.

Do you know how wide your rear end is? I’m wondering if I can fit 17x9’s without tubbing the bed. My rear end is 62” wide

This is a 4th Gen (93-97) Camaro axle, which should be about 65.5" WMS to WMS. Give or take .5"

My 17x9.5 wheels have a little room to go out (towards fender), but with the huge positive offset, they sit in a little bit, so I cut the bed and will add small tubs. I may reverse this if I change rear end and use different wheels. Long story short, with proper offset/backspace, you should be able to fit a 9" wheel without tubbing.

I 'm probably going to swap to either a 3rd Gen Axle (61.5" WMS-WMS) or a Ferd Exploder 8.8, but shortened 3". I don't know what that width will be, but it'll center the pumpkin and be close to the width of my Jag IFS, so I can run similar backspace front and rear.

Hey 16 inch wheels! I keep thinking that is the size I would like as well but I have heard that some 16 inch rubber may not be easily obtainable? Anyone have thoughts on that? Thanks for the effort posting your pictures!
