Need some advice pls.

I have C6 wheels on the rear is have 275/30/19X9.5. I have alot of fender gap and i really want to fix it. I know i'll need spacers, but how do i know what size of spacers to go with? 1/2 inch, 1inch or 1.25 inches? I don't want to lower it, i just want my rears to stick out little further then my rear fender.

spacers are a band aid solution that will cause problems later (think of your elementary science classes with leverage) the way to get the correct size is measure the distance you want to move the wheel out

I agree with Arch, Your better off lowering it or go with bigger tires. I will never run spacers on my car, I heard too many bad stories.

If you decide to lower your car, I am in the process of listing some SLP rate Eibach springs up for sale. Just thought I would throw it out there...

steering box problem

Not my Camaro, but same setup, I have a Nova subframe in a 1947
Chevy pickup, and when I first start it, sometimes, it doesn't
want to turn. I need to rev the engine a little, and after a minut
or so, the steering works fine. Then it won't have any problems at
all untill it has been parked for at least a couple days. I dont know
if it is the box or pump. Any ideas? Thanks.

My 67 Camaro used to do that.
It's probably the box, but if you have another pump to try first...
