Has any one done this swap?Pic's? :help: Help...
Assuming that you're referring to Corvette ZR1 rims... Their bolt pattern is 5X120.7 and the truck bolt pattern is 5X127.0 so you'd need a set of adapters.

I once put 94 vette wheels on a police caprice 5*5' pattern vette wheels are 5*4.75
Make sure that you torque the adapters on to the car. I almost lost one wheel because of this. I would also lock tight the poo poo out of them.
They will look great on a lowered truck.
Well, are you talking about putting Camaro SS wheels on the truck or Corvette wheels on it? You need 5x5 to 5x4.75 adapters and thickness depending on the wheel you choose. I have 2" thick spacers with 14mm studs to mount four rear Corvette wheels on my 93 truck. I had them on my 92, also. With 2" drop spindles I had to notch the lower control arm a little to clear the inside of the rim.
I am looking at geting chrome camero ss that are 17x9.5. I had to take a cut off wheel to some of my a arms so i could turn with the stock 15" rim's. :cry: I am afraid with the much bigger rim in the front all kinds of rubbing will go on with the 9.5in. Rim. My stock 15” with 235 have no problem at all with the 4-inch drop in front but does look ghetto. Also is $400.00 a good price for all 4 chrome 17x9.5 ss wheels.
also Redheartbeat where did you get your adapters and how much? Thanks for every ones help. Might pick up the rims on friday if i can make sure they will fit.

Tell them I sent you and they'll cut you a pretty good deal. Be sure you tell them you want 14mm studs if you order the adapters from them or they'll put 7/16 or 1/2" studs in them.
Just picked up the rims. Hope to have them on soon. Will post pic when they are on the truck. Thanks for the help everyone.
