wheel adapters?

If I wanted to throw on a set of Z06 rims what kind of adapters do I need. I'm thinking the 2inch spacer?
And where would I find these?
thanks

what size z06 and what offset....

i have 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear chrome on my car.

check out the site and let me know if you have any questions.


this is where i got mine from.....andris can help you out alot but you might still have to do some of your own work depending on where you get your setup. i have mine for sale as well depending if you want to go that large. just email me if you have any serious questions.

Once you check the price of the wheel adapters, you may rethink your wheel choice.

it's not to bad depending on the size of the adapter....

now the sizes i needed to fit my 18's it was as much as two rims. just to give you an idea i'm selling just my rims without the tires and the adapters for 1300 and i'm loosing alot. if money is an issue do not go with 18's as it's about 1,000 more then the 17 and the 17/18 combos.

i'd go with 8.5 front and 9.5 rear then just to make sure you have plenty of ride clearance in the front with out any worries of fitment or hassles down the road. 17's are offered in many offsets so much that you will only need a thin adapter depending on who you go with and you'll save alot of money over the 18's the rim design isn't quite as aggressive but its still a nice wheel. check out thirdgen resource and their convertible ls1 thirdgen with 17x9.5 all around. good luck.
