hey all...

just wondering if anyone had or knew of a person that had a used set of c5 corvette rims...

HERE IS THE PROBLEM>>>
i heard that becuase on my 2002 camaro i have asr.. i cannot have stagered rims??
is that true? and if that is the case i need 4 of the front size rims???

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY??

Also can i simply override the asr feature asi have no warranty and i would love to stagger the car??

PLEASE let me know all that you know on this topic as I would really like to find and put a set on.

thanks!

 

Not sure about the staggering, but this place has some decent prices on wheels

Either that or you can buy mine and then I will buy some from there

 

thanks soooooo much those are GREAT prices!

if you want to sell your rims tho i would be intersted if they would be cheaper. lol

 

The wheel size has nothing to do with ASR or ABS. Its the tire diameter that controls things, so its always a good idea to try and match the stock tire diameter. Even then, a small difference between the front and rear tire diameters will not affect ASR.

 

okk thanks for the help.. well the ones i have are 16X8 so if I get 17 or 18 by 9.5 is that ok???
Thanks!

 

Read what I said..... the diameter of the wheel has NOTHING to do with anything. It is the outside diameter of the TIRE that matters. There are people running 20" wheels on these cars, and it has no effect whatsoever on the ASR of ABS, or the speedometer or anything else (other than ride quality). There are people running 17's in the front and 18's in the back.... no effect whatsoever.

Buy the size wheels you want.... 17x9.5, 18x9.5, 19x9.5, 20x9.5. It will not affect the ABS, ASR (or TCS on the Firebirds), speedo, etc.

You have to match the outside diameter of the tires that came stock on your car. If you change the diameter, it will throw the speedometer off, unless you have the PCM reprogrammed with the new tire diameter. I have no idea whether your car is the V6 (215/60-16 or 235/55-16) or the V8 (235/55-16 or 245/50-16) so I can't tell you the outside diameter of the tire. But you are looking at tires in the range of 25.7" to 26.2" outside diameter.

When you buy the wheels, you have to match the stock bolt circle - 5 x 4.75" (120.65mm). And you have to get a wheel with the correct "offset". For a 9.5" wide wheel, you want an offset in the range of 45-55mm.

 

i have a v6 .... okkk thanks for the help.. i have asked so many people and they say i cant do it but they dont know why??

i will go to the tire place and see what i can do with matching them up.
thanks!
also i am sorry to keep bothering you but i have selected c5 rims either 17X8.5 or 18X9.5 what do you think is better/nicer?? also chrome or silver finish with my pewter metallic paint???
thanks again for all the help and advise!
