Update! I called Modern Spare and asked if the current wheel they have for the Camaro SS would clear the Z/28. Yep, sure will no spacer. Great, send me one.

Well, it doesn’t. Needs ~.300” spacer to work on the front. I’ll be calling them tomorrow to see why they told me it would fit without one.

They also messed up my order on my '22 SS 1LE with the big BCD brakes. They sent a spacer.

How thick was the spacer they sent? At .300” i was running out of thread fast. Paper thin to the face of the caliper.

Not really a spacer but more of an adapter. This is what came with my setup a few years ago. Extra lug nuts and sockets were included. I haven't done a "test fit" yet but it's on this summers maintenance agenda.

I see. Thx for posting the picture. That will work for sure.

Called Modern Spare. ‘We shipped you the right wheel, should fit. We’ll send you the spacer.’

Thank you!

Wonder how many people get to the side of the road and it doesn’t work out. Test fit your spare I guess.

They sent me the wrong wheel (size 18 without spacer). Be sure to let them know it's for Z28.
