C5 Corvette rim inqiury (already checked the sticky)

[The Firewood will rise again]

No, use the 2 inch. even lowered, you'll be fine. FWIW, most of the B-bods with c-5 wheels ARE lowered.

I'm torn, how are all you vette guys holding up with spacers?

In the vette sticky, you'll see that Scott RACES with adapters. The key is to get a set that is hub centric to the car and wheel. Spend the extra $$ for it.

My wagon has seen the happy side of triple digits on the speedo and is as sure footed there as it is at 25mph too. I got the hub centric adapters and check my lugs while I torque them down. I bring them down hand tight 1st with a star wrench and then I begin torquing them in the star pattern at the recommended rate and then I go over it 2 more times at that rate to make sure there is not 1 loose lug-nut there and then I move onto the next wheel. I do this for all of my vehicles and i've never had any issues with a wheel coming off or losing a lug nut either.

If you do these steps you can put yourself at ease in knowing that your lugs are snug. I even re-check what I get from the garages when they change out a tire that is worn out on any of my vehicles. it's your car and your safety and it never hurts to re-check for your own piece of mind. Have many safe happy miles in the future.

Cool. I see that pic. Ill just take a look at the sticky and check those sites out. I like those c6 5 spoke wheels w/ the deep dish 5 spoke. Ill get specs and pics up of the wheel I'm talking about. Thanks guys. I work at.a tire joint and have used adapters on a 88 monte carlo to fit bigger wheels. Just want to make suure.
