Mine were 58 mm offset, had to do the BHF mod, and then ran a spacer to move the tire outwards for a better stance.

yea im still running the c5's but the otherday on the way to sko0 i blew one of the rear tires. so i want to get 10.5's out back and get rid of the spacers. but with the current 10.5's with the 58mm offset the bfh mod will have to be used which i dont want to do since i already rolled the outer fender lip.so no i may stick with the same 9.5's but with the correct offset to get rid off the spacers.

hows your ride?

when you ran the spacer did the bhf mod have to be used for the inner fender still? what size spacer did you run?

thanks

i was about to say... run the spacers with the 10.5's and get an adj phr and you shouldnt have to do too much. im running 10.5's but on a different wheel so i cant say much. Im getting bored with mine lol dont know what to do next

oh yeah i read somehwere about how to change the studs if you want to run a larger spacer so you'll have enough thread left. i think its fairly easy to

Goodluck on that because they don't make Y2K's in 18x10.5.

C5's came with 17x8.5 and 18x.9.5
Z06's came with 17x9.5 and 18x10.5

yea ive seen these but there with a 58mm offset which still will rub the inner fender wheel a little. people have had to use a spacer and bfh mod to fix it. which i really dont want to do right now.

thanks

I run 10.5 C5's with no mods whatsoever. I do not know why everyone says that they do not make them in 10.5. I have hotchkis springs which is a mild drop, and they bolted right up. i run a 295 tire and have no rubbing issues. I have never put a hammer to my car. I believe the offset is 56mm, but not too sure. I had to convince the "experts" at my local Discount Tire that 10.5's did actually exist. After a little research, I now have 18x9.5's in the front, and 18x10.5's in the rear.

I've never seen them before until now. I wouldn't pay almost $300 a piece for replicas, so I never really researched any other than stock sizes.

I ran a 5/16" spacer. But not for long before I replaced my wheels.

I need CCW's or Fikse's in my life.

The OEM's are nice, but I think before long I'm gonna want something different. Maybe I'm the only one that feels that way.

Will the ARP wheel studs be long enough to support the wheel if you run a spacer? I am considering these. Either these and keep my stock ones for the track or hold on to the stock and get a pair of Bogarts for the rear.
