Does anyone run the 17'/18' Z06 combo? The wheels look damn good on the vettes, but how does the 17's up front and 18's out back look on a 98-02 Camaro? A friend has a brand new set he is wanting to sell me and I just wanted to see how they look before I spend the $.

 

I just put 17's all the way around on my 98 Camaro, looks real nice. Pics located in the sig. 17s in front and 18s in the rear will also look nice. I LOVE the Z06 wheels.

 

I have ZO6's on my car but i have 18's all the way around. I would recommend getting the same size all the way around. I use to have 17in the front and 18's in the back Y2K vette rims. They looked good but you can't rotate the tires on them.

 

i got 18's all the way around...like z95m6 said, you can't rotate with the 18/17 combo...

 

what do you mean by you cant rotate them, do you mean as switching them around into different spots?? what if i got thicker tires in the front to equal the same size as back total? because i was thinking of getting 17"x9.5 in front and 18"x10.5 in back what kind of modifications do i have to do so they can fit in the back?

 

oh and your interior combo color is nice, what year t/a door panels were they? did they fit right in and what kinda paint did you have to use to paint the leather and is the paint coming off at all?

 

You can't rotate the tires because most of our tires are only suppose to spin 1 direction. If you have 18's on the back the only way to rotate tires is to have the tire taken off the rim and switched around. Obviously you can't move the 18's up to the front. 10.5's in the back either will require spacers or some inner wheel well modification with a hammer.
As for the firebird/TA door panels i dunno what year they are off of exactly. I've owned 3 sets. They are all the same from 93-02. The white ones came in white, it makes them pretty rare. I sold them and have the graphite ones in the top pic. I figured i would never be able to keep the white clean at my work.

 

Yeah just go with that 17.9.5" all way around like I did. Like mentioned you cannot rotate the tires. It's silly because it's really dont make a noticable difference going 17-18 then to a 17" all way around.

 

where do you think i can get the spacer? do you think there is any site that shows how to do the wheel well modifications??


p.s. detroit 94 but i dont care if i can rotate it though, and i think the 18'sx10.5 instead of 17x10.5 or 9.5 would look nice on the back.
