Wheel Spacers

I am currently in the market for some dedicated autox wheels and tires to run in SCCA ESP. I am planning on getting 19x12 wheels all around with 315 Hoosier A7's. Maybe 18x12 if they will clear the brakes. So I am going to run a +30mm offset on all four so I can rotate them and use some 30mm spacers up front. My question is, can I purchase spacers made for SS Camaros or does the Z/28 have different lug nuts/wheel studs? If they are different, can you direct me to where I can purchase a set? TIA.

They are all the same bolt pattern, all the performance Camaro's, the 1LE and both Z cars use the same hubs.

I actually run 18x12 all around with a 30mm spacer up front for autocross. I bought H&R spacers, made in germany and very nice strong pieces. 0 issues.

My Forgestar F14's clear the front SS brakes but I can't tell you for sure they would clear your carbon brakes.

That's good to hear. I know the z/28 has 22mm lug nuts and didn't know if the studs would be the same. I'm also planning on running some Forgestars. Either F14 or CF5V. Your car looks awesome by the way. Are you planning on going to Nationals?

Yes, but I'd like to be able to rotate them. Otherwise I would definitely get an extra stock set.

As a side question, did you have any rubbing or clearance issues with running 18x12's with 315's on the front? I have camber plates and the Z has the flares so I think I should be good. Thanks.

I didn't even consider 325's or 335's. That's good to know.
