Hehe... stock brakes not gonna stop that monster BB, are they?
You need that thing all one color though, even if it is just rattle-canned.
Looks great, otherwise.  |

I don't like them one bit. I think you should take them off right away. No one in their right mind would put corvette wheels on a Camaro! What are you thinking. _________________

HEHEHE, Ya, so the 295's fit on all fours, gotta trim off the brake cable mounts but it will fit. Don't know why it won't fit. I'm running 1.75" spacers instead of the 2". The guy at the skmotorsport.com sait it was the biggest spacer he's ever sold. I told him it was a 1/4" too thin. Whatev. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Wish granted. I've just been waiting to finish the rest of the go fast stuff. That's the way I should be, right? All go no show? |

| Wait, 295s on all four?! Are those the 18s I take it? How close are the 295s to rubbing in the front? |

| Ya, the 295's bolt up on all four corners. So it's the 255 17's in the front and 195 18's in rear. But I put the 295's in the front just to see. The rim rubs the brake line bracket on the strut but otherwise fits. I turned lock to lock with the car up and didn't rub anywhere I saw. So my friend is hunting down some rubber for me so I can shoe up the bare rims I have. |

He said it bolted up. He didn't say he could turn tighter then a crew cab long box Ford.  |

Hmm. The one time I drove it to work I found that the rear tire rubs in the front part of the fender well against the inside of the tire. I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about. I know that the wheel spacers I got are 1/4" too thin but I don't think that the 1/4" would make a difference.
Is that metal thin enough that I can beat it in? I know you have cut out the metal right over the axles where it's corregated. |

if it isn't, get a bigger hammer...
The real question is, is it rubbing on both sides? If it is only rubbing on 1 side, maybe a panhard adjustment could get you enough clearance. |

ya, what Dewey said, double check that your centered before you beat anything, then when you are, I use a 4x4 with the edges rounded and a big hammer
you should see the clearancing needed to tuck the wheels on my vert after the air ride  _________________
