Zo6 rims, sonoma 2 wheel drive

[yx302]

what type of offset what i need to run a z06 rim measuring 17"x9.5" front, and 18"x10.5" rear? These rims are not factory zo6, but replicas that fit camaros. Keep in mind I dont want any tire exposed outside of the fender well. Ohh yeah I also have the zq8 suspension.

Same offset as the camaro I beleive. Just dont run spacers

whats the deal with spacers? I thought about puttin corvette wheels on my truck but i have heard thoughts on spacers....so whats the deal?

Too much strain on the studs! With decent torque and you can say good by to those wheels.

yeah, spacers are a baddeal.com in my book. I havent ever used them, but I also havent heard anything good about them either

I've been running 1.5 inch bolt on adapters to convert a set of 4x4 rims to a 2wd s-10. I've ran them about 30,000 miles so far with 0 problems. Keep them torqued properly and never use air tools and you won't have a problem. I don't have large HP numbers though, so I can't speak for the durability of them under constant high power situations.

ya well ya know my s10 will put out an astonishing 200 questionable horse power to the wheel after i get my s/c, is that still too much for spacers?

I'm totally stock 4.3 vortec with a hyperchip reprogramming... not quite 200 hp but i would feel totally comfortable running them that high. I am not one to baby my ride. They have held up through countless burnouts, donuts, and dragging. When I took them off last week to get them coated they seemed perfect. They showed no signs of wear or fatigue.

I have a video of doing donuts in the snow too but its not hosted online at the moment.

with a 17" camero wheel you can get a 5" backspaceing on an s-10, but you'll have to run 50s up front to keep them from rubbing. real zo6 wheels have a 7" backspaceing. You put a 2" spacer on small pattern chevy and race it your asking for problems. You live in H-town right? if your looking for a set of rims they have the delmar and sam houston raceway park swap meets comming up at the of april. You can get a nice set of rims for nothing there. i payed 100 for a set of pony draglights there last year.
i posted the date in the events forum under central.

Not to mention a complete set of quality spacers will run you about $200. With that money you can put it towards THE PROPER rims. The only reason I chose this route is because I already had the $1200 rims and got a different truck. Spending $200 > $1,200 again.

DO it right the first time and you'll be happier.

camaro offsets and 4x4 offsets are the same I belive. but a 2wd truck has a different offset need.
there are probably thousands of people using spacers with no problems...BUT if you are the 1 in 1000 person to have a wheel fall or break off goin 100 mph it's not worth it. if you do it get expensive adapters. spacers vibrate and shift and loosen lug nuts.

thanks for the info guys!!!
