i was told i should get spacers, but i only need them in the back, can i do that? I need spacers for the rear zo6 rims i got, with 56mm offset, front is 54, front is fine tho, back rubs , will it ride or look off if i get the 1/4 inch spacer just in the back?

I got ZO6 wheels too, 18X9.5 front, 18X10.5 rear. I didnt need any spacers, no rubbing, put them right on no problems.

Yea, you should probably go with the 5/16 spacer, which is what most people use with the 295's and work pretty well. And how are your studs, are they long enough, sometimes you need longer ones, b/c stock ones only thread 75% in some cases. And I dont think the offset will look out of place or anything.

I'm getting 17x11 in the back with 315's and 17x9.5 in the front with 275's. I know I'll probably rub, I'll need the BFH mod though ;) And possibly some spacers. I'll also lower it about an inch as well.

Yea, both hoods are major improvements over the plain stock hood. I bought the SS spoiler about 4 months ago and the Ram Am hood about 2 months ago, still sitting at the body shop, the guy keeps on telling me he's busy and all kinds of BS. I finally got him to comit to 3/14 to finish the job. Anyway I think the paint job will be in the range of $500-600, just a guesstimate though. Another sweet hood is the Ultra Z, which is pretty rare to see.

Why are you using so much tire on a car with no power? Is it a looks thing? If so, why are you posting on the LS1 section and not in the V6 section. Not to sound mean or anything, just that I dont personally agree with putting that much tire on a car that wont need it.

Most LS1's dont need that much tire.. takes some serious modding to need more than the stock rubber.

wow, well since i needed to know, i posted here, v6 tech, and suspension also, im throwin on a turbo in the next 8 months, got a sweet deal on the rims. im 18 also, whats ur insurance? not as much as mine i bet, what do you do? somthin that pays u more i bet, what im getting at is, i know my car doesnt have the power like the ls1, so i just have fun with what i got, no need in tellin me it has no power. but then again, that ss last week thought different..... later
