I am running a 2" spacer I bought on Ebay to run my ZR1's on my third gen. After I did my LS1 front brake swap the 275/40r17 tires on the front started rubbing a bit, so I think that I am going to step it down to a 1.75" spacer. My wheels are 17x9.5 for now but I would think that the 17x11 will need the same 2" spacer.

I used to have a fourth gen rear end so I didn't need a spacer, but now that I am running a third gen differential I have to run a 2" spacer in the rear also. It uses the stock studs with the Ebay spacers. I had to switch rears again because I bought a set of Telstars in third gen offset.

do you have a link to the spacers you bought? and i shoudlnt have any problems running the 9.5 on the fronts unless i change the brakes??

so i can swap a 4th gen rear into a third gen?? might just do that
