Welcome. .. . :cheers:

 

Attached pics of my 20x8 replicas Camaro SS wheels for www.oewheelsllc.com

A stock set will work as well, but they're 20x8 from & 20x9 rear, so rotating is out unless you buy them in matching pairs. The stock offsets, as well as the reproduction offsets fit the Equinox/Terrain nicely, so no need for spacers. The stock lugnuts will work, but are a bit too long IMO to look good, so the stock Camaro SS lugs look better and also fit perfectly.

 

...oh, and lowering springs are almost impossible to find, allthough there was a post recently where a member found a company that will make them, but no has tried them yet to my knowledge... There was a limited run of lowering springs, but they sold out about a year ago...

 

I posted links previously above. .. .. :cheers:

...yeah... I was typing it out on my phone while you were posting apparently... Takes a while to type all that with just my thumb on my phone

 

as well once again, thanks for the replies to all of you.

With the OEM camaro SS being staggered will that effect my ride quality or mileage more then say buying replica rims of the same size??

I just noticed on a quick google search that lowering springs are really limited, anyone have feedback on the springs mentioned in the other thread?? I dont believe i read anywhere about actual review of them being on...

 

I have them. Supposedly 1/10 sets made, I love the lowered stance, the added confidence in cornering, and the added stiffness.

Also I think these just might work." 02 03 04 05 06 07 Saturn VUE Megan Racing Lowering Springs Set " https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BFN85Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_oA70wb7F25EDT

 

Interesting'


Can anyone confirm if 08/08 equinox sport springs will fit gen2 equinox&terrain?

 

I can confirm that the 1st gen Equinox front struts fit on 2nd gen with my lowering springs. I used the FE3 sport struts. So it probably works the other way around.

 

So the Fe3 front struts and rear shocks work?
Great

The springs must work aswell, especially if they are going to sit in there.

You could probably acquire some gen1 sport rear bump stops as well

 

Yep, its all the same chassis, that's why I think the Megan Racing Saturn VUE springs will work, they have been proven to work in the 1st generation Equinox.

 

Oh thats great. I might just buy factory sport springs and struts etc
The megan racing springs sound like they are a huge drop

 

TBH you'd need a huge drop to get rid of wheel gap

 

Im not concerned with eliminating all wheel gap, its no sports car. Just want a sportier ride and better fitmebt with my wheels

 

Get the Megan Racing springs on Amazon, if they don't work, you could return them, and if they work it would be a good test and another option for the community. I'll help you research if you want. I will talk to the guy on the Equinox Facebook group what he did with his 1st gen.


Edit: way cheaper here, almost is steal if it works. http://www.redline360.com/megan-racing-lowering-springs-saturn-vue-MR-LS-SV02

 

Ok cool see what he says


That is crazy cheap btw

 

"Yes but only in the front, the Equinox springs are pigtailed at the ends vs the Saturn Vue are not. The rear turned out to be the excact same." He bought and used Saturn Vue Front struts, bolted right up like stock. The springs are apparently a different design, so the Vue struts spring mount are the same to match, but dimensions on the car are identical. If that makes sense


Join the FB Group and read what he says https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChevyEquinox/

 

Sorry i dont have face book

So he is saying the rears are t the same eh?

But the gen1 equinox springs are the same as gen 2?

 

Rears are the same on all theta models, Vue, any Equinox, the VUE struts up front though may have a different spring design and strut to accommodate , but they both mount to the chassis and suspension the same way as the Equinox.

 

Ok great
Im gonna look for this suspension set up and give er a whirl

 

oh wow great feedback so far, thanks.

i REALLY hope their is a set of springs i can purchase which will safely lower my '14 nox......

 

I am looking for wider wheels/rims....i love the look from the front and back with wide wheel setup.

what do you guys recommend if i am looking for a wide setup?

i only know to look for 5x120 bolt but unsure about the rest of the settings.....

 

another question as well...

It's quite difficult finding private sellers with equinox specific rims.....

what other cars have the exact same wheel specs that i can search for??

 

will these fit:

20 inch GMC Sierra 275/55/20 all around.

thanks all!

 

9" is about as wide as you can go, Camaro and Equinox share the exact same wheel patterns, bore, etc, 5x120 67mm bore.
