Default Aluma star 2.0 17in, spacer???(zo6 brakes)

As the title reads.What is the correct spacer required to run the 17in alum star 2.0 front runners? Need them to clear stock c6 zo6 brakes. I know weld rts clear but i want to run something lighter than that. My 19in forge line street wheels are as light as those are.

Thanks

From my experience, the barrels aren't the same shape from one style wheel to another.

That's why I suggested you buy it & test (without mounding a tire) so it can be returned if needed.

I hear ya man. The 2.25 is the only backspacing offered on the 17 in
aluma star 2.0. Guys have ran them on there zo6 with spacers without grinding the brake calipers. I need to know how thick of a spacer they are running. IPS sold a kit with wheels ,spacers, and APR studs. I'm trying to put together my own kit. I already have the wheels.

Thanks

Try using washers on the studs to find what size spacer you need.
