From the information I have, the fronts area 56 mm offset. Techincally they should bolt right up, althouugh may appeara bit "tucked" in. So you can more than likely run a 1/2" spcare with new lug studs for the right look.
The rears area 65 mm offset, now these are not going to mount up, with out some big inner wheel well mods. A 3/4" to a 1" adapter could be run to get the wheels to look good in the wheel well.

what you want are the 25mm adaptors from h&r springs.i got mine from livermoreperformance.com.they aren't cheap($125 for two)but they are very high quality and you won't have any problems with them.i've had mine for almost 3 years now and have done 6 open track days(roadracing) and about 12 passes at the strip and never have any problems.i am running 18x9.5 with sportline springs and the vette offset and i had to roll the rear finder just a little beacause with 2 people and a hard bump it would rub on the passanger side.pm me your email address and i'll send you some pics so you can get an idea of how it will look.

That's a high offset...is that the stock Vette offset? The ones on ebay from oe wheels has an offset of 56MM in the rear.
Would these adapters work on a wheel that has a 56MM offset. Say 18x9.5 Y2K C5's?
