    • Everyones setup is going to be a little different. Don't assume that an 8" rim with 4th gen offset will need a 2" spacer. I'll type out all the calculations below, numbers are rounded.

      Stock Rims:
      16x8 Front - 4.75" BS - +6mm offset
      16x8 Rear - 5.25" BS - +19mm offset

      Fitti's:
      17x8 +20 offset (we'll just call it 5.25" BS)

      With my front setup with the LS1 rotors, I need to subtract about 7mm of offset because of the width of the rotor siting on top of the hub (old rotor milled in a hub).
      I run a 1.5" spacer up front with 17x8 +38mm
      Out back I have 2" spacer with 17x8 +38mm
      Both are very close to 1/2" from the fender lip. The 18x9 +50 will be at the same location, the extra inch will be on the inboard side.

        we did get the new heater core in but we had to take the rest of the interior out (the dash and center console) got most of that back in but still working on reassembly on the interior. Also got the heater core box mostly installed still working on a few things...

        should have some more progress tomorrow.

            Step forward in my book, I figure the car will be easier to paint in pieces... Tomorrow the rear bumper should come off and maybe the front fenders too.

                            • yeah the plastic ones. they were in the rear impact and the whole bottom half of the reinforcement bar was rusted out which made things more difficult.
