18x9.5 C6 Rims w/58mm offset - Spacers? I just got a set of chrome C6 18x9.5 wheels from oewheels and they have a 58mm offset. I'm sure they'll fit fine, but I'm curious if a 5mm (or even 10mm) hub-centric spacer would make them look better? I'll be running 275/35/18 tires from my current C5 Z06 rims. Also, I am lowered with Strano springs and I DO have a adj. phb to center the rear. I want them to look good without rolling the fender (too big of a spacer) or using the BFH mod...
The sticky at the top of this forum says 38mm-56mm will fit fine on a 9.5" wide rim...
Anyone running this wheel? Fit fine without spacer? Think it'd look better with spacer?

I just ordered this exact setup for my CETA (except in all black). Wondering same thing if anyone has input or pictures. I cannot tell on the OEWheels site if the submitted pictures are of cars running spacers or not. Figuring I will do longer studs and spacers on the rear to push the wheels out further and get the backspace under +50mm.

I have the same thing but the C5 DD wheels with the same size tires as the OP. I need to get a set of spacers for the front.
Here a picture of how they sit in the front.

I'm running the OE Wheels C6 18" x 9.5" on the front mounted on 275/35/18 tires and think they fit nicely without a spacer. You can get a sense of that from the signature pic.
My current project is to see if I can get a 275/40/18 in there without rubbing because the extra diameter would help my ground clearance a bit (and help fill out the fenders better). Thus far I've received mixed feedback on whether or not it will fit without rubbing.

My current 18x9.5 C5 rims have a 53mm offset I believe. I like the way they sit in the fenders, so I just went ahead and ordered a set of 5mm hub-centric spacers off of eBay for my new C6 18x9.5 rims w/58mm offset. After research, it seems that spacers 1/4" or less don't need longer studs installed, and 5mm = 3/16" so I'm thinking I'll be good with the 5mm spacers. I may get the rims on and discover I don't need them, but I don't really want to be at the tire shop and discover I can't get home because my rims don't fit without spacers....that would suck!

I find mine sit a little deep in the rear - ordered the eibach 15mm with longer studs. I isn't horrible and I could probably live with it as is. Figured what the heck - can always take the spacers off if I need to.

Installed my C6 replicas and put the 5mm hub centric spacers on with the stock studs and I think I want to put them out a little further. I bought a set of ARP longer studs today and I think I'm going to go with 12mm spacers with the stronger, longer studs...
