Default y2k 18x9.5 ?

im running these up front and rear. but the rears required a spacer since they are oe corvettes and im using a 1inch spacer adapter. my question is there a shop/company that makes these with the a special offset or i can order to leave the tires/rims where they sitting now.

as in i like the stance now but wanna get rid of the spacer all together.

pics of my car can be found in sig.

thanks

i don't know much about offsets and stuff, other than what they mean...i've never really payed much attention to it since the wheels i had were stock and i widened them and used an adapter...check lmperformance.com they have replica wheels...even 18x10.5 y2k's they might have your offsets..

I was running the 18x9.5's all the way around without spacers. My inner rear fenders required some massaging, b/c the tires would rub when going around corners. The BFH mod fixed that in a matter of seconds though.

My 18x9.5's are for sale in the marketplace.

Stock Vette wheels are around a 63mm offset. Using a 1" spacer = 25.4", so 63 - 25.5 equalls an offset of 37.6 mm . . .

As for adapters and spacers, if they are made right, they are just as stong as stock. Especially if you spill for a Hub and Wheel centric unit.

i fugured thats what the offset would come to0. now ill have to find a place who can get me as close to that as possible. the only ones i found they make are with +50mm offset. which will move me rim close to half an inch in towards the car. i just hate go with thew 50mm offset and wish i never rolled the fender lip in..
