92 / Wheel Spacers / Converters

[gfxdave99]

I did a few searches and didnt come up with anything. I was looking online and found some like so. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WHEEL...em110236481431 I know the impala / caprice wheels fit cuz they are 5x5 so theoretically a 5x5 > 5x4.5 converter should be fine but I wanted to know if anybody has tried it on a FWB?

This is the guy all the Impala guys use to put Corvette (5X4.75) inch wheels on.

The 5X4.5 bolt pattern opens a whole new realm of wheels up.

Any links to pics of examples (even on impalas/caprices) would be welcome

The two most popular are the Iroc 18-22 inch replicas and the Corvette C5/C6 17/18 staggered setup:









And of course the aftermarket 5X5 bolt pattern stuff:












There is a ton more. Just check out the Caprice, Roadmaster, Impala, Fleetwood, and Brougham sections of cardomain.

Actually, I am installing one of those too . However my main concern is that rear tires don't rub .

I use spacers on my Impala SS. They are 1.5" thick. Very similar to Rustic's construction: 6061 billet, pressed-in studs, hub-centric. They have held up to over 30 000 miles of HARD driving. For example, here is my car cooling off after some lapping on a nearby road course.

Sorry the pic is so small...
