What year Vette Wheels

[nello]

Are DIRECT bolt on for SyTy? I don't know anything about Vettes other than 1984 came with a 16inch wheel (at least some did), and by 1990 a 17inch was available.
Looking for direct bolt on.

I checked here first, it helped a little, but I need more info.

Re: What year Vette Wheels

They also look horrible on a SyTy. They are are going to need 3/4" spacer for fronts to align with the rear. They will stick out slightly.

haha! pretty much! My hammans need refinishing, so I need a spare set. CHEAP and bolt on are my only two goals.

Same here. Just got these from AFS a few months ago. I think it was $1,235 shipped, wheels, tires & lugnuts.

Re: What year Vette Wheels

Im using some C6 Grand Sport wheels 19x12 on the rear and and same style but for a C6 fronts wheels 18x9. With 1/4 inch spacer and they are working just fine..

Re: What year Vette Wheels

I believe any of the c4 ZR1 wheels (there were a total of 4 different types)
89 (prototype)
90 (lug nuts exposed)
salad shooters
5 stars (grand sport) - Technically not a ZR1 wheel, but same dimensions.

I have the 90 Zr1 wheels. They look great. No spacers needed

Re: What year Vette Wheels

A 9 inch wheel on the front will rub at full turn unless you lengthen the steering stops.Also gotta sawzall the axle shafts for the center caps to fit.

I had these when I bought my truck. I HATED how they looked. They are so ugly in general and definitely ugly on a syty. I had to get rid of them as soon as I had some cash to do so.

I have a set of OEM Grand Sports in 17x8.5" just in case... I did lengthen the steering stops though... We shall see soon if the 9.5" wide ones will rub :tup:

Oh yeah, good call... I remember I hAd to do this to my old truck #0895 to get the c5 wagon wheel caps to fit....The pic below is from after the tire shop over torqued my action. When you're wheel sounds like a couple of maracas at 80mph, it's an oh shit moment.
