Those with 18" C5 Z06 wheels step inside - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

What size spacers are you guys running and are you running stock or longer wheels studs? I have a set of 18x10.5 C5 Z06 wheels (+56 offset) with 305-45-18 NT555r's and they rub the inner fenderwell. I have heard a 5/16 spacer is the way to go. I want to get the car to the track 1 more time before the end of the season so buying new wheels is not an option right now. I know people are running C5 Z06's, help please.

Dan, I think Pat @ ADM runs these or knows about them. Try and PM him and see what his thoughts are.

We run a 5/16" spacer on the BMR 2010 Camaro when we use the C5 Z06 wheels and have plenty of clearance. We also installed longer wheel studs on the rear of our car for a little extra safety.

5/16 spacers. Stock studs for now. About FOUR FULL threads is all i get though.

Awesome, thanks guys. Looks like I need some ARP wheel studs. Maybe I can get away with one day without though.

"maybe safe" doesnt work for racing, or hot chix!

Ivas · 11-11-2010, 02:26 PM

Yeah, longer wheel studs are definately needed.

Just got my spacers. I have another set if anyone is interested. Any suggestions on studs?
