tDoug60 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just pick these up today from my uncle. They are 17x9.5 +56 sawblade current wrap in 275/40. I planned on running 230/235/40 any suggestion on which tire size to go with. and got adaptors http://www.amazon.com/gp/other/aw/d/B00HQSQH8S?cache=2cd3fa2c2bd006df5c704954bd4e5165#ref=mp_s_a_1_2&qid=1391377203&sr=8-2&precache=1 http://mywheeladapters.com/5x100-to-5x475-5x100-to-5x1207-Wheel-Adapters-Rim-Lug-1-Billet-4-Spacers-P3240015.aspx Trying get these on the car ASAP.

Jack Giovo Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Be real careful with these things - they loosen up after installing - check them often - also remember your offset has changed so the wider the tire the closer to the quarter panel or fender you will be by the thickness of that adaptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDoug60 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm trying to figure out what my offset will be with these. Also plan on installing camber kit Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetiger Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 you're gonna need a massive fender pull to fit these along with at least -3deg or more of camber. That gonna put a lot of stress on the wheels bearings which will only be exacerbated by those 1" spacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDoug60 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I can't find smaller adaptors I may go with a 215/225 215 is extreme but I don't plan on runing these wheels year round Edit- just found a Adaptec 19mm thickness Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You bought a labor of love. I'd pre-order a set of wheel bearings, too. Expect to spend considerable effort getting these to fit and work well on your car. The extreme width and offset are not going to help you. Running a smaller width tire is not going to help either. A 9.5 rim would take a 235, however, the 275 would be a better fit (which is why Chevy fitted one on there) Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDoug60 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I've seen ppl stretch a 205 on a 9.5 lol so to me 225 isn't a major stretch just found a 15mm adaptor instead of 1" Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yeah, I've seen the same thing. Their rims were completely trashed, too. Whatever, its your money. unsub'ed because stupid. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
