A_FUrious Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 After trials and tribulations. Which I don't recommend anyone doing the Z06 upgrade if you have Boss 330's. I figured it would be close but not this bad. I've had to add 60mm spacers to get the clearance where it doesn't rub on the caliper. I bought new hubs and wheel studs so I can get more than 4 turns on my lug nuts. It blows cause I can definitely notice how far the wheel comes out of the wheel well. Live and learn. I will probably end up eventually getting TBSS reps in the future. As for now, does anyone know at a very minimum where I would be a safe distance away from the caliper?? It appears I have ~1.5mm at its closest point which is at the center piston. As always, any insight is greatly appreciated. If anyone wants to trade out right for pretty much brand new Boss 330's with Nitto 420s 305/40/22 with maybe 1k miles on them let me know. 22's only. PM me if interested and I'll send pics.

SSmoothSilSS Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I was going to do the Z06 upgrade also, I also sold my Boss 330s and put my stockers back on and going with the 22 reps, I didn't realize there was such and issue with the clearance. Im going with the Baer Aluma instead, Autoanything had the front set for $1,165 with %10 off. As far as clearance on the wheels as long as it not hitting its good to go.

A_FUrious Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 C-hair... I'm just nervous because of the spacers, and if they allow flexability on hard turns.. Thanks for your responses guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 The four turns on the lug's is what's got me worried. Do you have stud coming all the way through the nut? I would not trust any less. Are you the guy who posted asking about longer studs the other day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_FUrious Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yes.. Oh and I know. There is no way I would drive with so few turns. I would have to replace all of my wheel studs from 65mm OE to 80mm to even get close. The issue with that was wheel studs are quite spacific on Knurl diameter and length as well as the shoulder. There isn't anything that would be a direct replacement. Most wheel studs are designed spacifically for certain applications. For instance, the closest "replacement" had a Knurl of 15.67mm and OE is 15.83mm. What happens if I put that crap in and it's weak... I go to put my lug nuts on and that bitch spins loose.... Forget that... I actually decided to buy TBSS reps from NorCal. Keep it stock and just replace my hubs for good measure. Besides, I bought them already.

evandostert Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Looks like you have room to grind a little off caliper. I fit 16's for winter wheels over drop spindles. I have about the same clearance Edited July 27, 2014 by evand (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the TBSS wheels look great on our trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I've been surprised that the rotors and pads haven't sold. Sorry that I can't help on the price for your wheels. Have you started a new post in the "For sale" section? A post there, with pictures might work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
