ok guys, i finally found some rims. eagle alloy 17\'s type 77 nice 5 spoke with tires, for like 600 bucks, im goin for it. Anyway, the rims are off of a camaro RS, about a 95, and what size spacer should i use. They are the same bolt pattern, but i think that i need a 2\" spacer, but i wanna know for sure. What size spacer should i use, to fit 17x8 eagle alloy rims with a camaro offset on my 2wd offset?

My recommendation to you would be to jack it up and take a tire off and place the new tire on and get it were you want to sit then take a measurement of the gap that way you can be more exact.

I checked on putting 94 Z28 wheels on my 2wd 97 S10 and i needed 2\'\' spacers for it. They were alot of money so i didn\'t do it. They\'d fit fine if it was a 4x4. I would check out e-bay they usally always have spacers on there. The company your buying the rims from should know what you need.

The spacers you need are 2 inches front and back since you are a 2wd. I have a set of \'95 Camaro salad shooters waiting to go on. Im just putting in a 3.73 4x4 rear and just using the spacers in the front. The spacers can be had for $170-180 a pair from www.vettebrakes.com (http://www.vettebrakes.com). Ive been told you\'ll break your wheel studs before the spacers. Thats what Im doing anyway.
