C8 wheel spacer question
I see the 15-20mm spacers mentioned a lot. Has anyone used anything wider than the 20mm ?
I need to push out the rear Weld wheels on my Z. And no I’m not buying new wheels 😉

I have one C8 Z06 with the H&R 20mm rear spacers and stock wheels, the wheel/tire sit right at the edge of fender with no rubbing. The other C8 Z06 (track day car) has H&R 30mm rear spacers with MRR 20x12 wheels with a 50mm offset, the wheel tire tend to sit more inward at top as a result of my -2.2* camber track alignment. I'll try to get some pics posted.

The spacers do make the car look better, overcoming a C8 Z06 design shortcoming IMHO.
Yeah I hope to track the hell out of the Z06 this year, the car is all ready, wheels, tires, seats, harnesses and bar, rotors and pads.
I just tried to send pics but I guess they didn't go so I'll try again.
