    96 Impala SS wheels advice?

    ...again, this was only on the front fitment. the rears were not an issue. they snugged right up. i also want to mention that on my front, i have 2'' drop spindles. now going to do 1 or 2" springs up there. I also don't care about the speedo being "off" a couple miles per hour. could care less...

    96 Impala SS wheels advice?

    ...all i can say is...on thinking back...is that your brake rotors center outside diameter must be a hair smaller in diameter than mine were/are. can't recall for sure, but i believe i replaced my brake rotors during a front brake job. they were just new stock size rotors, nothing fancy, but...

    96 Impala SS wheels advice?

    so i thought i was all done with the back of the wheel, hole size wise. the rears bolted up no problem. the fronts still had a minor rocking back & forth center hub too small issue. again, it was minor. so i put a very small rounding-over radius bit in the same router and removed the edge of the...

    96 Impala SS wheels advice?

    the ss wheels bolt right on to our c1500 trucks with only minor mods. first i used a straight small router bit on a router, to take off the very minor aluminum lip, that is on the backside centers of the wheels, so that all four wheels could be bolted onto any of the four corners of the truck in...

    Best lowering option

    ...I like this outfit. They cost a bit more, but I like their stuff better than all the other usual places. On their site they answer the old question of whether or not so & so's spindles push your tires out or not, and how much. Like their regular C-notches & their taller C-notches...and...

    SRT10 Replica wheels

    the bolt pattern IS the same from the impala ss to the gmt400 2 wheel drive. they are both 5 x 5. the trucks wheel studs are a hair larger in diameter, but they slide right on & bolt right up using the regular acorn lug nuts. the center hole needs to be routered out ever so slightly with a...

    OBS Camber/Caster Knock-outs - how to tell if you have them.

    if you never alter or change the ride height from standard, you will most probably never need to install the aftermarket offset camber bolts in question. people that lower their C-1500's need them, for example. very common.
