Yep, been working hard and decided to get a new toy for the weekends. Just picked up this pewter '99 T/A WS6...THIS THING IS SO MUCH FUN...ridiculous. I also have a '73 Camaro RS and post regularly on NastyZ28 for those that have a 2d gen camaro.

You guys (and gals) have a great site here! Some SWEEEET looking machines on this site folks...getting lots of ideas...thanks. Anyway, I live in San Diego and just wanted to say what up

Here's my '73...

I have a question about rims for the T/A...I found some black Z06 replicas on Ebay and am wondering whether they have the correct backspacing and will fit.

The ad says they fit Corvette 1988 thru 1999 and Camaro, Firebird and Trans am 1993 thru 2002 so I assume they have the correct bolt pattern.

They are 17x9.5 / 56 mm. Can someone please tell me if these will fit or will I need a spacer?

Thanks

nice looking rides!!! Those rims should fit no problem! 17x9.5 is the same size as your stock ones. My friend has those on his Z28 w/no spacer.

thanks...that pic was taken last summer...I have it down to the subframe right now detailing/painting every part and upgrading the brake system...just making things underneath the hood look as good as the rest of her...should be back together in a couple of months. I plan on dumping a lot into the T/A to get the same kind of compliments.

Since you're the moderator...please confirm what others have wrote...that the rims I'm looking at will fit. Thanks in advance.

They appear to have the correct offset and should fit fine :)
