http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages Go to this link and search chevy camaro, then yrs 1998-2002 you will find plenty, but go with the Zo6 wheels they look much better I think. Thats what I have.

Nice car bro, those wheels really do look awesome. The picture really helped. Where did you get your FFI SS hood? I am looking to buy one. LS1 though.

Re: Y2K C5 Wheels on a 02 Z28?

thnx- bought the hood straight from the company last year- wasnt sure what the quality was gonna be like considering price- but i must say i was really impressed- my body shop was too considering the price-

if u want i have pics of what it comes like straight out of box- and some fitment pictures

may help ur decision- ohh and the company is pretty good to deal with- always answered my emails and even sent me a new receipt for my salvage inspection- 3 months later

So you bought the hood from a Chevrolet dealer? Post some more pics of your car. I just bought some Y2K wheels, what size tire do I buy. 17" in front, 18" in back. Thanks

Re: Y2K C5 Wheels on a 02 Z28?

if ur referring to me - the hood came from Fiberglass Fabricators INC..

hood out of box pic 1
hood out of box pic 2
hood fitment 1
hood fitment 2

those are some hi-res pix of what it looked like straight from box then bolting up to factory hinges without adjusting. the left side sat about 1/8" high and right 1/8" low- but with some tweaking it was nearly perfect- also my front bumper cover is the 60$ special off ebay so fitment would be better on stock

in case u wonder what those look like heres some pics


bumper 1
bumper 2
bumper 3
bumper 4

as for my Y2k's the originals are 17" up front and 18" in back- i decided to go with 18x9.5" all around on all 4-

for my tires im running 275-40-18 - i would recomend going with a 35 sidewall just so your speedo is accurate but i dont like low pro tires so went with the widest i could- still no rubbing- in the spring im bumping my rears to a 295 tire- ohh and currently they are Nitto 555's on the back and Khumo Ecsta's on the front-


and to finish this post off more pics of my car can be found here
Pictures of winter beater- and rebuild
if u want any hi-res shots of those let me know i have the hi-res pics on my computer and can throw up on my webserver-

---------------------------------------------------------

hope all that info helps

Are there any carbon fiber hoods for the f-body? Have you seen anyone with a silver camaro w/ black top and black hood? I wonder what that would look like?

how are you gonna get 295's under the rear? i'm running 285's and had to beat the crap out of the inner fender wheel to make clearance! also i was wondering if you can run these wheels/tires with lowering springs?

and for the original poster: just click on the link in my sig. its an LT1 car but you cant tell in the pic.

So, I should have no problem with 275 40 R18s in the rear? And Is 245 45 R17 good for the front? Why are the front tires bigger ( 45 as to 40 ) than the rear? Isnt that the corvette stock tires? Thanks for the help.


I have the wheels, I just need to find some tires.
