http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages Go to this link and search chevy camaro, then yrs 1998-2002 you will find plenty, but go with the Zo6 wheels they look much better I think. Thats what I have.

Nice car bro, those wheels really do look awesome. The picture really helped. Where did you get your FFI SS hood? I am looking to buy one. LS1 though. :D

thnx- bought the hood straight from the company last year- wasnt sure what the quality was gonna be like considering price- but i must say i was really impressed- my body shop was too considering the price-

if u want i have pics of what it comes like straight out of box- and some fitment pictures

may help ur decision- ohh and the company is pretty good to deal with- always answered my emails and even sent me a new receipt for my salvage inspection- 3 months later

So you bought the hood from a Chevrolet dealer? Post some more pics of your car. I just bought some Y2K wheels, what size tire do I buy. 17" in front, 18" in back. Thanks
:cool:

if ur referring to me - the hood came from Fiberglass Fabricators INC..

hood fitment 1 (http://kingman.rh.rit.edu/hood/DSC00473.JPG)
hood fitment 2 (http://kingman.rh.rit.edu/hood/DSC00475.JPG)

those are some hi-res pix of what it looked like straight from box then bolting up to factory hinges without adjusting. the left side sat about 1/8" high and right 1/8" low- but with some tweaking it was nearly perfect- also my front bumper cover is the 60$ special off ebay so fitment would be better on stock

in case u wonder what those look like heres some pics

bumper 3 (http://kingman.rh.rit.edu/hood/DSC00368.JPG)
bumper 4 (http://kingman.rh.rit.edu/hood/DSC00370.JPG)

as for my Y2k's the originals are 17" up front and 18" in back- i decided to go with 18x9.5" all around on all 4-

for my tires im running 275-40-18 - i would recomend going with a 35 sidewall just so your speedo is accurate but i dont like low pro tires so went with the widest i could- still no rubbing- in the spring im bumping my rears to a 295 tire- ohh and currently they are Nitto 555's on the back and Khumo Ecsta's on the front-


and to finish this post off more pics of my car can be found here
Pictures of winter beater- and rebuild (http://community.webshots.com/user/kingman109_us)
if u want any hi-res shots of those let me know i have the hi-res pics on my computer and can throw up on my webserver-

hope all that info helps :p

Are there any carbon fiber hoods for the f-body? Have you seen anyone with a silver camaro w/ black top and black hood? I wonder what that would look like?

:p

how are you gonna get 295's under the rear? i'm running 285's and had to beat the crap out of the inner fender wheel to make clearance! also i was wondering if you can run these wheels/tires with lowering springs?

and for the original poster: just click on the link in my sig. its an LT1 car but you cant tell in the pic.

what years your car? i know for some reason some people had luck fitting them with out hammering and others havent- currently with my 275x18's i have no problem with room - definately have another inch of space.

So, I should have no problem with 275 40 R18s in the rear? And Is 245 45 R17 good for the front? Why are the front tires bigger ( 45 as to 40 ) than the rear? Isnt that the corvette stock tires? Thanks for the help. :confused:


I have the wheels, I just need to find some tires. :alert:

275-40-18 will be fine for the rear but i reccomend going with a 35 sidewall so as not to throw off the speedo - (275-35-18) basically becuase the rim is getting bigger you are reducing the sidewall to keep the same overall size as a stock tire/rim- for the front i hope u meant to type 275-45-17 - but ya that should be fine-

id post a question in the wheels and tire section just to be sure- but thats it
