The offsets for the 18x8.5 are +45mm and +56mm for the 18x10.5. I don't know about the 17".

But these particular wheels are sized for a C5 Z06....which means NO spacers needed on a 4th Gen F-body.

315>>me . I totally under-estimated how big these were, and how I was going to get them to fit. So, I thought about doing the BFH mod... Grabbed the hammer, and on the second swing the damn thing broke. I guess there is a reason people put the B in the BFH. It is a little hard to get over the bumpstops. Finally I got the things on, and lowered the car. It is really close to the inside of the wheel well, and I dont think I could drive it like that.

Should I get an adapter, spacer, or just keep on with the BFH?

How safe are the spacers? I am pushing a bit of power, and do not want to lose a wheel over something dumb.

I've run spacers for years without a problem. Though I do have the ARP wheels studs.

These are not the best photos I have taken, but I was not really in that kind of mood.

Car drives great. Feels very planted to the road.

Now, I could not get these things to fit with out my new buddy. His name is Thor, and he is a 5lb mini sledge... He told me how to get them on.

The location kind of sucked, but it was getting dark and I had no other place in mind. Car is leaning a bit, and make it look higher than what it really is.
