You need a mini tub in the rear, dont you?

[jcal87]

I think there is quite a bit of modification to fit these wheels

Im pretty sure rear tubs and spacer for front and rear. But i could be wrong.

First question, are they C5 Z06 or C6 Z06? Originals or reproductions? The size and offset should be stamped/cast into the wheel mounting pad, so if you post up that information, that would help others help you.

Since all C5 and C6 wheels are medium to high-offset wheels, you'll need wheel adapters front and rear no matter what and probably mini-tubs in the rear like the earlier posts have said. If you have C6 Z06 wheels, a new subframe up front built for wider wheels/tires will be needed unless you're okay having the turning radius of a semi.

Drop spindles, eh? I'd suggest reading the sticky at the top of the Suspension Forum regarding drop spindles on rear steer F/X-body applications. With any backspacing over 4", you're likely to have interference issues between your tie-rod end and wheel hoop.

Place those drop spindles in your nearest trash can and put a stock spindle back on it. You can get the stance you want with a spring, either out of the box "lowering" spring, or a cut spring. Or use air bags with a stock sprindle.

What are the wheel specs? Width , backspace etc.
