Nas Escobar Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 WOW, 2 Grand for wheels, seems like a lot. Lol. You must have got the car cheep.They do look good on there. He got the car for 800 in poor running condition IIRC. The wheels aren't new either. Quote
l67ss Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Got these for the cutlass. they were a great deal deal and ouldnt pass them up...but they came with 235/50 18s with less than 500miles on them..little taller than what I want but will they be ok on a stock height vert? Are those rotors on backwards? Quote
l67ss Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 So had to brave the 10 degree weather to see how one looked..and of course the offset is slightly off. I need a quarter inch spacer or less to clear those stupid baby calipers ...Wish there was a brake upgrade but oh well. Im not a fan of the black top either thats why I only really drive it when the tops down What year spindle/brake are you running on it? Quote
tsilney Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Posted January 2, 2015 What year spindle/brake are you running on it? It is the stock set up. It's a 95 so not sure what size the rotor is. Haven't measured. Just wish there was a easy upgrade like there is on gen 2s. The 18s make the brakes look that much smaller. On my gen 2 gtp I have fbody fronts and gxp rears fills the wheels in nicely and stops awesome. Quote
George Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 The late '95, 96 & 97 got 11 1/4" rotors where as the earlier ones got 10 1/2". It's as easy as changing to the later strut mount/ spindle assy and putting on the bigger rotors. Quote

Mines a May build so guessing smaller rotor..ill measure next time front wheels off. If its smaller I will think.about upgrading but we will see. Quote

tsilney Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Posted February 3, 2015 Got the spacers in for the 18s so they clear the baby brakes. Do I need longer studs for a 5mm spacer? They thread on good just not sure. The rim barely clears but no rubbing and the tire still stays tucked in the fenderwell. Very happy Quote
jake91 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Nope your good with the stock lugs on a 5mm. Back in the day that Aweb made spacers. i remember the claim being up to 1/4 inch was fine on stock lugs, and he autocrossed running his spacers with no issues.
