Default new rims

just picked up a set of c5 Speedline magnesium wheels 18 X 9.5 and 17 X 8.5 For 100 bucks, I know that the rear rim is the same width as the WS 6 so I shouldn't need a spacer to run those should I? And I'm assuming the frOnts will bolt up just fine right?

Ok so do I have to get any spacers? I know this topic is covered under the 10.5 inch rims but I was not sure if I would need to with them being the normal ws6 width or if these are a different offset or something

I think they will fit, but if they are OEM vette wheels, then the offset will be different.

Seeing your pics makes me wonder if my C5's are vette offset because when my car is unloaded my bump stop is almost resting on the rim, but when I put it back on the ground it slides right inside. I have no problems with mine. It looks like it should hit, but it never does.

Hmmm, that is weird, but to be safe I would rather get a spacer, at least half in but prolly I'll get an inch hay to give it a more aggressive stance
