themidge Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I am looking into getting a set of the Corvette C4 sawblades. I have a few questions about the set up tho. First off I am going to need adapters, I dont know what I am looking for when it comes to them. I am a newb to wheels and tires. I am also wonder if my 205/50/17 will work on the rims. They are 9.5 inches wide. http://images.craigslist.org/5I35K95Fa3ke3Gc3Mec3j2a11430ba47015b2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Dagwood Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 what size and bolt pattern are these? Even though I know where this thread is going, I'm going to try to be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1055 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I just sold a set to 01rs25. I can tell you that I had the older style. They should be 5x120 and +56 if they are 17x9.5. If they are the staggered set, don't bother. I had 1.5" 5x100 to 5x120 adaptec adapters for mine. They sat nicely on my flared wagon. Smallest size adapter your going to be able to use is 25mm to clear the stock wheel studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1055 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 You can either buy cheap ebay ones, or expensive ones that wont break. I suggest the mildly expensive ones. When you're done with them, you can sell them to a vw hipster for what you paid. http://img.tapatalk.com/aefc32a1-04be-d872.jpg Ask me how my road trip home from my girlfriends parents went.

Billy Dagwood Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 and...that picture pretty much sums up my assessment of how good an idea this seems like to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1055 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Those were cheap chinese made ones. The adaptecs took a serious thrashing with absolutely zero issue. Cost me 240$ but were worth every penny. I had a 255 s drive on there and they were my becauseracecar wheels for auto x/ being a jackass. Not even so much as a squeak from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTDogg MA Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 205 on a 9.5"? Not unless you're hellastupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrw Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I still don't understand the fascination with these wheels. Same goes for the whole stance thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themidge Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 No I'm not hellastupid. I made this thread to get some help from members that have ran this set up. 205 on a 9.5"? Not unless you're hellastupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 205's are too narrow for a 9.5" rim. Not sure if that question was even serious...

Billy Dagwood Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 You'll probably find this thread very helpful. It's certainly my go-to whenever I have wheel/tire questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made this thread to get some help from members that have ran this set up. Yeah, wasn't sure if you were a hellaflush assclown or just didn't know. 205's are too narrow for OEM 7" wheels (IMHO, I guess they'd fit). Sorry if I offended you. 9.5" wheels can run anywhere from a 255 to a 275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
