Guy has 19s all around his monte, but the sets I've found for sale are 18s in front and 19s in rear.

I had 2" spacers on the front with 17x8.5 c5 wheels. 275/40/17's and rubbed on turns. I can't imagine a 10" wheel would clear in the front of a g body. Maybe with some big flares or aggressive steering stops.

But 2" on whatever a 17x8.5 c5 backspace is what about perfect.

I need more info. tell us the back spacing or off set of the rims along with rim size. Gm usually cast the size and off set on the back of the spokes.
I'm running trans am ws6 17x9 rims with an off set of 50 on two of my cars. 275/40/17 tires and iroc steering box with no rubbing. I'm using 1.5" adapters up front a 2" in the rear.

How does the gearbox affect the rubbing? And is your gearbox direct fit on gbody pitman arm and frame bolt holes?

why are you getting adapters to fit a 120 bolt pattern when the C6 had a 4.75 (120.65) bolt pattern..... :popcorn:
