Question...Wheels After Pfadt Suspension, Problem? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

LYCAN · 02-08-2011, 11:26 PM

I haven't purchased wheels yet, obviously. But I am going to have Tony's Corvette Shop install the Pfadt Suspension Package II that will consequently drop the car about 1" to 1.25" all the way around. Is this drop significant enough to interfere with any 20" wheel packages or spare to the best of anyone's knowledge? Sorry if this has been posted before. I did did around and found lots of valuable info, but want to be 100% for sure.

I have mine dropped approx. 1.5" and it is fine with 20s...if you go with an 11" wide tire on the rear you will need a 1/2 space....other than that you should be good to go....you will love the Pfadt package.

As long as your tires don't stick out past the fender lip, you'll be fine.

Sweet! I was just wondering the same thing. Have a Pfadt stage II + endlinks going in approx. 2 weeks and worried about the drop rubbing. Thanks for posting this OP.

Just be sure your wheel seller knows ahead of time about your plans on suspension. Lowering the car does change the recommended offsets a little. Coil-overs are the big issue with front end fitment, depending on the brand used.

I also have lowered mine with phadt springs and have the stock 20"s with absolutely no problems, have never scraped or rubbed and I live in MA and the roads here suck.
