Had a little side wall blow out the other day. My tires were rubbing on the inside most of the bolt head rubbed off. Out side blew not inside. Did a 360 at 80 getting onto hwy 99. No damage to rims. lucky me.

Glad you're OK. Guess you need some spacers with those C6 rims.

yep got them out will see if I can look up bolt size and replace them when I take the tires off.
$660 dollars for the new tires. 45 thousand on the last set.
my life is worth a lot more.

OMG, Steve! That had to be a scary ride!

I would agree... 1/4" would about do it.

For added security, ARP makes wheel studs for C4s.

Oh, if you want to get that car painted, you need to take it to McJacks' in Santa Ana... You will not be disappointed.
