I recently put on some 18x10.5 ZO6 wheels on the rear of my 98 Z28. They look great but the driver side wheel is about 1/8 of an inch from the edge of the fender which is the look i am looking for but the passenger side wheel is about 5/8 inch from the edge of the fender so i know the rearend needs to be centered. So i am thinking instead of centering the rearend i would put a 5/8 inch spacer on the passenger side to achieve the look i wanted but i dont know if this would be safe or a good idea? I dont drive the car aggressively only full throttle strait line acceleration every now and then but take it pretty easy most of the time. If anyone knows please respond.

 

is your car lowered? you might need a adjustable panhard rod.

 

Do not use a spacer. Correct the body-to-axle alignment with the adjustable panhard rod. Has the back end ever been hit? Have you ever hit a curb real hard with one back wheel?

 

I just bought the car back in March and i really doubt that it has ever hit a curb hard or anything. The way i figure it needs to be shifted to the passenger side about 1/4 inch and then there would be equal spacing of 3/8 of an inch from edge of fender to the edge of the wheels on both sides or in other words tucked under the fenders by about 3/8 of an inch. I have read how some cars need the adjustable panhard rod to be centered, is it being off centered by 1/4 inch abnormal?
