Wheel Fitment Dilemma Here's my issue, I want to get a set of 18" deep dish c5's for street use. My problem is my rear end is narrowed 1.5" on either side. I'm not wanting to get custom wheels made mainly because i'd like to be able to swap the wheels to my other car. I'm looking at spacers but the only kind i can find are the bolt on ones with separate studs. That is the second part of the dilemma, I have 3" studs on the rear and need them pass tech. What can i do?

If you look at the picture some wheels have pockets in the spokes. This is where your longer studs would be "poking" into. You have to check the wheels you're putting on and see if your studs will clear through.

I have the same issue only I'm at 2" per side. I would love to find a 6.5" bs wheel and run a spacer to get them close to where they need to be becasue I do not want to spend the $$$ for forged wheels and I'm on a tight budget...Just want a 17"-18" wheels to run around with on the street some.
