C6 Corvette Wheels

Picked up a set of Black Polished C6 Corvette Wheels last weekend. They already had the Michelin Run Flats on them with about 90% tread. Got the wheel spacers today and mounted them on my 89 IROC-Z. I'll post some more pics tonight.

Re: C6 Corvette Wheels

The wheel spacers I used are WS2s GM Hub Centric.

Front: 18x8.5 (245/40/18) with 2.5" spacers.
Rear: 19x10 (285/35/19) with 3.0" spacers.

Granted I havn't took it down the HWY yet at any blistering speeds to see if I get any vibrations but in town so far and up to 45 mph smooth ride. Took some full turns and good bumps, no rubbing at all. I'm still stock height.
