Which corvette wheels to buy?

[chuckie669]

I don't have one on a t/a but I wish I would've gotten the y2k deep dish replica's. I think they're beautiful on a bird.

[LetemSpin1]

the wheels id like to buy tonight have a offset of +56mm and backspacing of 7.4". what is the offset of my stock ws6 wheels? ive looked around and could only find one place that said and it said the offset was 50mm of the stock wheels. i just want to know if thats right or not, because if so the +56mm offset wheels will stick out further, correct??? and if thats right then i could possibly have to roll the quarters right? which is ok cuz my buddy just bought an eastwood fender roller! so any input before i buy these wheels would be aweeeesooooome! thanks again!

rubber mallet mod, just bang the wheel well wall inward. its a very common mod, no need to deal with rolling fenders and all that bs

[LetemSpin1]

id rather not bang anything in. so is the +56mm offset going to move the wheel in or out?

[LetemSpin1]

basically my plan is to just buy wheels for now since my tires are fairly new and just swap over the tires 275/40/17. now im just not sure if i will have any clearance issues. they say these wheels will fit, i just dont want to get them and go to put them on and have it rub anywhere, but if i have to roll the quarters i will. after i get these wheels im planning to get the slp shocks/springs lowering kit. and then i will have to worry about rubbing issues again. but hopfully i wont since im staying with the stock 17 inch size wheel. im not too good with all this offset and backspacing stuff....

god choosing rims is hard! well here in about ten mins im about to dish out $770 for a set of american racing TT M's or 2's. more than i want to spend but i really like the look of both, now im just stuck on which!

I ordered the TT M's. 17x9, I paid $770 for them. Brand new, is that a good deal for those wheels?

i'd say its fair i usually see them for around $1000 new so

[LetemSpin1]

it was free shipping too! i wanted to stay stock wheel size for now. before spring gets here ill probably buy two mt et streets and stick on two of the stock wheels for when im racing. ill have to wait till the rims get here but im trying to figure out what the biggest size tire width wise i can put on a 17x9 rim? i know i can fit 315's on the back but not on a 9 inch rim. but someone please prove me wrong cuz id love to have 315's on the back!

you'll destroy the rear end i dont think that would fit anyways, i could be wrong though.

[LetemSpin1]

im not too worried about the rear, if it blows up thatll just give me a reason to build it! lol

If you wanted to run 315's you should have ordered 17 x 11's out back. Lots of guys on this sight have them staggered like that. I personally chose to go with 17 x 9.5 up front and 18 x 10.5 out back. I love the look and am very happy with my choice.
