Don't see many requests for the thin spokes anymore. Anyway, here's a few pics of my old setup 18x9.5 on the front with 275/35 and 18x10.5 rear with 295/35.

I didn't run spacers either but would've been more comfortable with them since they were reeeeaaaallllllly close to rubbing. If I took a corner hard they did rub, and I'm pretty sure they were repros as well.

Dont know how to get pics on here, but can provide a link to my local club site where the previous owner posted a pic. http://brewcitymuscle.com/forum/show...urdered&page=3. Mine is the 01 SS with the SLP hood on it, just above the Chrysler 300 on page 3, posted by Floaters. Tire size in that pic is 275/35R18 up front and 295/35R18 rear. Wheels are Repro 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear from Topline. 1/4" spacers all around. No modifications to wheel wheels at all. Rubbing under hard turns, i.e Autocross....

Not trying to be an ***, but the title just says "Post ur c5 thinkspokes". Just doing my part in a round-a-bout way. Thought I'd put as much info as I can since most people ask anyways.
