jbc3 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I received my billet adaptors from Skulte Performance Engineering for the fronts yesterday and promptly installed them. What a nice piece! I got 2.5" adaptors so I could fit my stock Camaro wheels. (89 Camaro hubs/rotors and Toyota 4x4 calipers) I just received my Ground Control coil-overs today so I will be tearing it all apart to install them and the Illuminas.

Guest 73LT1Z Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Sent you an email on this, I have a 16x8 set from a 1995 Trans Am I'd like to try & adapt since they are just taking up space now. I think the ones you have pictured are 16x8 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Looks good! Just wondering about the 2.5" on the adapters isn't that a little thick? I have them (1.5") on my car so don't think I'm trying to bash or anything. Just wondering about the size for future reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440man Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Hey JB, Was wondering if you would care to give me some instructions & parts list on your camaro hub & rotor setup? Is everything a bolt up? Any special seals etc. I'm working with a 75 280. Thanks for your help! lbo730@bvunet.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440man Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Cody, Great looking ZXT there. What kind of wheels are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Cody, Great looking ZXT there. What kind of wheels are those? Thanks. The rims are a brand named Chromadora. It's an Italian brand and unfortunately they are no longer made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I have the same brakes, but didn't realize you could use Camaro hubs and rotors. What are you doing with the back, do you have Camaro hubs there as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbc3 Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 Hey JB' date=' Was wondering if you would care to give me some instructions & parts list on your camaro hub & rotor setup? Is everything a bolt up? Any special seals etc. I'm working with a 75 280. Thanks for your help! lbo730@bvunet.net Search my posts and there are more details on what I did. I would be happy to give you a parts list, but it is far from a bolt-up solution. The front rotor/hubs are from a 3rd gen f-body. Change the outer bearing race and it fits on the stock spindle. But then you need to make major mods to the brake calipers to get them to fit. Custom seals were needed for the inner grease seal. The rears are stock 4th gen f-body caliper brackets, machined and drilled to fit over the rear axle housing of the 280. Then they needed to be surface machined for the stock 4th gen f-body calipers. I have a friend that has a surface grinder and it took alot of time getting the brackets machined to the correct depth. I am sure there are other solutions to mounting the calipers, but this is how I did it. As far as the wide adaptors go. Andris Skulte (Skulte Performance Engineering) has been using wide spacers on his twin turbo 3rd gen f-body for years with no issues. (a much heavier and more powerful car) He is not gentle on the car either. With the wide spacers, you are limited in the tire width on the front rims. The wider tires will rub the front of the fender when the wheel is turned. I probably could have put 1/2" smaller adaptors on the front.
