18x9.5 et35 Hey guys, first post here. I've got a 1999 Z28 and am looking at picking up some 18x9.5 et35 5x120(square set) wheels with 275/35r18 tires. Will I be alright offset wise? I know that the normal minimum offset is around 38 but I can't imagine 3mm outwards spacing would make a massive difference. My car is also at stock ride height and will stay they for a long time so I do not believe I have to worry about rubbing. Anybody have an 18x9.5 et35??

SO many of these wheels look GREAT on our rides, but I would still not put the wrong (NO MATTER how close to ours) bolt pattern on mine.
I WISH that all of these ONLY catering to Euro and Nippon wheel companies would just make the same lines with OUR ACTUAL bolt patterns/offsets since between all of the y bodies and f bodies, they could sell a ton of them!

94z28, it looks like you are lowered in your pics. Do you have any rubbing issues in the rear? Could you run the rear size all around? What size tires are you running?

Just picked up these BMW M5 Parallels. These are the staggered, 18x8 and 18x9, forged OEM wheels. I've got a couple shimmies due to not using hub-centric rings, so those have been ordered.
Also, the tires on here are a lower profile than I prefer, so the car will be lowered after the tires are replaced...
Let me know if you have any questions.

Edit* Oops, didn't realize the thread was for 'aftermarket' wheels. Oh well, OEM options fit too!

Fantastic looking wheels. I had them on my old 6.0 LS E39, miss them dearly. I want to buy another set of the reps from Discount Tire Direct as I had great luck with them, to put on my 2000 C5 FRC.
Those who are running a 5x120.00mm wheel on your GM car with a 5x120.65mm hub, have you had any problems with wheel studs? I plan on daily driving on these and don't want to have problems bending or breaking studs. If need be I'll run an adapter, but it might push the wheel out past the arches. I did plan on using a hubcentric ring regardless.

I had purchased some E39 M5 wheels from a Camaro owner who had planned to use them. I ended up selling the rims and taking the tires off, but it would have been nice to see how they would have looked on a Camaro.
