have a chance to get vette wheels, but.......
I have a chance to get corvette wheels but how big of a pain in the ass will they be to fit...? Fronts are 18x8 while the rears are 19x10. Ive seen on here ppl saying the didnt remove fender walls but never messed with it myself. I think the would look sick but different lug, clearing brembos, and not rubbing seems like a big challenge so wondering how the 19 inch guys are running them. Btw ill be on stance coilovers. Thanks for the input!

whats your suspension? Worst case scenario, don't slam the car, roll the fenders, and give a decent stretch and of course a spacer.

Ill be on stance coilovers as there in the mail now. But with how wide the rears are and how thick adapters come. Would my only option to be converting lugs? I have no idea how much room rolling and pulling fenders gives you nor do i know anyone local who can/will.

just find another set to match the fronts(18x8) and whatever spacer you run they will probably be flush

Someone around here is running C6 wheels all the way around on a hub swapped SS. It was a black coupe and the wheels were powder coated black. Trying to remember who it was.......

Randy made those wagon wheels look better on his sedan than they ever looked on a Corvette.
