Finally got the Wheels and tires on
Took some more grinding and a small spacer but now they fit. Not worried about the fronts yet.
Car is dirty, I know, it's getting washed tomorrow. Centercaps come tomorrow from Summit.

Re: Finally got the Wheels and tires on
Tomorrow will be a testing day for me. I havent ran the car in 3 years and never on a real tire. Just street tires, and all it had was a shifter, K&N, H pipe and weld in flowmasters and thats it. Gonna do alot of learning again tomorrow. Should be fun either way as I am racing and thats what it is about.

Hopefully the MT's that I will have may not need that.

Re: Finally got the Wheels and tires on
It looks faster than what it really is Thanks for the help on the Camaro last Night Ben. It looks nice with the white on black.
Well for those with a sn95 cobra and a 15x10 wheel with 6.5" BS(actually a 15x8 w/ 5.5" BS is better), the rears will take a 7/16th spacer and have to grind the rear bracket that holds the brake line. I did 30 minutes worth on the drivers side and almost 2 hours worth on the passenger(did it without a spacer).
Now the front is a whole new animal.

Re: Finally got the Wheels and tires on
I am using Maximum Motorsports 30mm hubcentric spacers with studs built into them. ZERO gridning and actually what is recommended on using rather than 3" studs and a ton of grinding and spacers.
