Default OE Wheels C5 Deep Dish

18x10.5 C5 Deep Dish with 285/35 tires for rear on 2000 formula

I read in the sticky that this setup will need a spacer or a BFH. I really don't want to use the BFH. It has a 56mm offset. What size spacer should I get and where is the best place to get them? And will the spacer work with the stock studs/lugs? I also plan on lowering it 1.25".

if its stock riding height then you should be fine. ALL CARS ARE DIFFERENT. I have the same wheel with a 295/35/18 and had too use the BFH a little since im am lowered 1.25inches as well, some other guys didnt have too. ALL CARS ARE DIFFERENT. You may need a spacer but there is only one way to find out.

Why dont you want to use a BFH for?

then just get the 9.5" if you wont BFH, more then likely you wont have to BFH, but as Drokkers said, only one way to find out.

BFH is pretty minor.

They should since my C5 DD are 18x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear. I have 315s on the back and had to do the BFH. Not too much though. I'm also lowered on BMR springs so about 1.5"

That's also $200 more than the polished. Plus I like the staggered look. Really.. No one is running c5 brakes with these wheels? I must have had a unique idea or something.

Most everyone thinks you need a BFH. A little tip, theres also a thing called a cut wheel that goes on a grinder and it makes a nice clean mod, plus a little rust proof paint. I made a nice clean notch, lowered 1.25 inch and have ran 17x11 rears and at the moment are running 18x10.5 at all 4. Then maybe all you should need is a adjustable panhard rod.
