Default question for the ppl that do 18x10.5 on all fours

hey guys, i was just wondering for the ppl that put 18x10.5 on front and rear of their camaro's. I am about to put some on all fours of my car. I talked to an lt1 dude before and he said he put them on fine without any spacers but i heard it was different for the ls1 guys. So do you need any wheel spacers to fit them on in the front? the fronts will only be 275-40-18s

I had to run a spacer on mine, to keep the wheel from hitting the brake spindles. I just put 1/8" spacers up front, and it did the trick. But, they're still very close to the spindles.

I'm curious myself. I've been considering doing a set of oewheels 18x10.5 C5 DD wheels all the way around on my camaro but I don't feel like screwing with spacers and studs.

I got the spacers off Summitracing for like $10 or $15. And I didn't worry about longer studs. The lug nuts threaded on far enough for comfort with the stock studs.

how do u think a 1/4 inch would fit in the front? would it make the wheel stick to far out?

I have 10.5 all the way around, with 295 tires up front and 305 in the back. No problems, no spacers were needed. But obviously it depends on the offset of the rims. Also unless your going for the stretched tire look, I would go with a wider tire then 275 for fronts.

If any of y'all need some spacers. I have (4) 1/8 inch spacers, I'd sell all 4 for 15shipped.
