Finally got around to getting these mounted. Really like them & the BFG's 245/40/17. RCE Yellows going on this weekend as well.

I have been waiting for more pics of these wheels, specifically on red. Thank you sir.

My pleasure... as a sidebar,,, thanks to ft86speedfactory,,, great prices and service.

How is the fitment? Any rubbing during tight turns?

Honestly I've haven't driven it that much. Put them on Friday and was out in the boat all day yesterday,, but I don't expect any. It's snug in the front against the strut but I've been told it'll be OK. I also bought a 3MM spacer just in case the new springs and camber bolts become an issue.

Put the RCE Yellows and the Whiteline Camber bolts in the front yesterday. Front camber is at about -1.2ish +/- .1 (base on digital level) side to side so I went ahead and put the 3MM spacer in just in case. It's still pretty snug between the wheel and strut.


Can anyone one tell me what is a safe minimum clearance between the strut and the wheel?? And a good way to measure it?? It's hard to get in there without a lift.


I did drive the 52 miles to work this AM,,, tires are a bit noisy but otherwise it's good!

I've been thinking of the same wheel setup - I'm only lowered on TRD springs (about 1") and use the Whiteline camber bolts as well. How's the setup working for you? Have you had any rubbing?

No problems so far,,,, no rubbing that I'm aware of either.

I got a ping abut posting some newer pics,,, with the Race-comps on. Its been raining,, so she's a bit dirty.

Oh yea,,, the new Hot Rod,2016 Z51,, 460hp is very very good!

Looks great!

Funny, the Vette looks like it has more wheel gap than the FR-S :)

Stock for stock, I think FR-S could give the vette a good run as far as wheel gap :)

No doubt it does. The good news is all of the later generation Corvettes have ride height adjustment bolt in the transverse spring. This allow the ride height to be adjusted a bit. I haven't been under my car as of yet but I suspect I can lower 3/4" - 1" pretty easy. There are also aftermarket bolts with a smaller pad the rides on the lower control arm. The bad news is a 4 wheel alignment will be necessary afterwards.
