Special Order Wheels Special Order wheels for the second-generation F-body or for the C3 Corvette:
The three-piece SSR wheels (two of the pieces are welded) can be ordered in a wide range of wheel widths and offsets along with choice of bolt pattern. Take a look at the SP3, VF1, and MS1 in 18" and 19".
Also, American Racing Custom Shop wheels in 18 x 9.5 size can be ordered in choice of bolt pattern and backspace.
Finally, US Mag Custom 2-piece wheels in 18 x 9 size can be ordered in choice of bolt pattern and backspace.
To convert backspace in inches to offset in mm:
Backspace - ((RimWidth + 1) / 2) and then multiply by 25.4

The subject is:
Three different brands of special 18" order wheels.
At the price level of $350 to $750 per wheel.
Wheels that don't require spacers or adapters.
Based on research of looking for wheels for C3 Corvettes but applies very well to the F-body or other cars.
Easily tire sizes of 255/40-18 to 275/40-18 but also others.
----------------------------------------------------------
AND the subject is open to other brands of special order wheel availabilities.

It's not really not that difficult.
1) The SSR 18" three-piece wheels (with two pieces welded) can be ordered in choice of wheel width, wheel offset, and wheel bolt pattern.
2) The American Racing Custom Shop 18 x 9.5 wheels can be ordered in choice of wheel backspace and bolt pattern.
3) The US Mag Custom 2-piece 18 x 9 wheels can be ordered in choice of wheel backspace and bolt pattern.
This gets 18" wheels on a C3 Corvette or on an F-body without wheel adapters or spacers.

I think I've figured out the problem:
It's the C3 Corvette and the second-generation F-body that has the hard to find wheel offsets in 18" wheels.
Wheels can be more easily found for the third and fourth generation F-body.
