hey guys, i plan on getting 19in Zr1 rims for my camaro. but i need some help, the wesite that sells them offers them in 56+ or 79+ mm offsets. Now idk which set to get. I NEED that flush look, i want the tires to be flush with the fenders, or at least pretty damn close.

Now on top of all of this, im going to slam my car 1.8 inches this winter! so u guys see any fitment issues that i may need to know?

any opnions and comments are welcome!

link to the rims, its the 19 in c6 zr1 rims.

+56 offset is the one you want.

the more positive of an offset the wheel, the more spacer you have to run behind it. I can post a couple of pictures of my setup with the c5 z06 wheels..they sit pretty flush with the fenders, I wouldn't want them to stick out anymore than they do already though.

I run 2.25" adapters in the front and 2" in the back. I'm considering even stepping down to a 2" in the front because they do stick out quite a bit. The size of my wheels are only 17x9.5 and the offset is +54 so I guess if I were to recommend an adapter for your idea..I'd say 2.25" all the way around for you.


Edit: here's some pics with 2.25" in the front and 2" in the rear.

where do u get ur spacers from?

Hey, I just finished up dumping my 89 GTA on 19 inch c6 5 spokes goin for that hella dumped look. Will post pics as soon as possible...

Louis_84

Awesome! Thats the same look I'm going for, please post asap

I got my spacers off of ebay, just do a search on ebay for your size. They're a dime a dozen.

slammed? More like slightly lowered.

Other than that to be flush with a 10inch wide wheel you want about a +20 offset.

I'd go for the 19x10 +56 and use a 36mm adapter.

lol well i any say slammed cause most people on her i see only lower there car like an inch, and 1.8 is the lower spring i can find (but i didnt look that hard lol) but y do u say only slightly lowered?

svandorst

Because a seriously aggressive drop is like 2+". The reason why you haven't found springs that do that is because there aren't companies that make springs like that. From what I've gathered most people buy some stiff moog stock replacements and cut them down to achieve the desired ride height.

Plus it's cheaper, about half the price of doing say..eibachs.

i agree with svandorst thats what i did on my 92 z28 was put cut moog springs on.

Because nothing off the shelf is going to get you slammed. My cars lowered over 3" and it's barely tucking tire yet has plenty of ground clearance, no rubbing, etc. Its perfectly streetable. I guess it's because I also drive a VW that you can barely slide a credit card between the tire and fender, and will high center on a pack of cigarettes. Yet is in the middle of the pack as far as being defined as slammed. My definition is a little more extreme than the typical F-body owner.

could i run 18inch c6 rims up front with no spacers?

no

SVANDORST: Can you run a 315 tire out back with your setup?

mine too is a berlinetta and i was going with 18's and lowering kit...didnt have the look i wanted...so i went with 17's and ground effects...still not as low as i would like..but heck i scrap in places now with my stance...so the way to go is air ...save up and go that route..to low and you will drag on everything..jmo...good luck

heres a pic of mine with 17's. i have 2" lowering springs. the springs havent settled yet, so the ride height will change. the rears have action traction lift bars, but those will be getting swapped out with umi double adjustable arms

zenish

those are the wheels and look i want[but chromed].what made you pick two inch spacers?would shorter spacers cause rubbing or do you just like the look?i want those wheels but as far under the car as possible.

ol' paddy

if you're willing to spend the money for it i'd recommend using weight jacks or coil over if you really want it to get it low, i have weightjacks and i'm sitting at just over 2.75 inches off the ground with 17in c4 zr1s.

where i'm from though, slammed means you would scrape on the salt flats, having your car 2in or more off the ground is not "slammed".

TAG305

would 2 inch be fine up front

slammed is 2+ inches or more...

if you want that look you need to go either air ride, or get springs from dropzone or intraxx

TAG305

ment spacers sorry
just got my c6 rims and guy only had the rear spacers so im trying to figure out the size up front that look the best

itsMikey

im at 3 inches dropped without air..moogs cut nearly in half

ray1989

for 18s front and 19s back will a 2in spacer for the front and a 1 1/8 in space for the back on a 4thgen rear work???

TAG305

i have 2inch spacers up front with a 95 rear end no spacers just a little bit of fender work to stop it from rubbing

ray1989

ok sounds like im good them
thanks
