Default Weld rts part number?

What's the part number for s71 or s77 17x4.5 for base front fenders and z51 brakes?

On that list I only see the ones for widebody fronts. Don't they make a front runner for base front fenders?

That was my original thought. I was thinking they made a set that didnt require a spacer but obviously they don't. Does that require any new studs or anything?

I ran a set for many months with the factory studs, however after many nights of worry I purchased a set of ARP 2.25" and installed on all four corners.

Regardless of the corvette a spacer will be required unless you mill the caliper.

My perception was you were assisting with the question. So no harm no foul.

Running fronts with 5mm spacers and extended thread lug nuts for few years. No issues. Catches more than a safe number of threads.
