Default OE Wheels C5 Deep Dish

18x10.5 C5 Deep Dish with 285/35 tires for rear on 2000 formula

I read in the sticky that this setup will need a spacer or a BFH. I really don't want to use the BFH. It has a 56mm offset. What size spacer should I get and where is the best place to get them? And will the spacer work with the stock studs/lugs? I also plan on lowering it 1.25".

if its stock riding height then you should be fine. ALL CARS ARE DIFFERENT. I have the same wheel with a 295/35/18 and had too use the BFH a little since im am lowered 1.25inches as well, some other guys didnt have too. ALL CARS ARE DIFFERENT. You may need a spacer but there is only one way to find out.

Why dont you want to use a BFH for?

They should since my C5 DD are 18x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear. I have 315s on the back and had to do the BFH. Not too much though. I'm also lowered on BMR springs so about 1.5"

That's also $200 more than the polished. Plus I like the staggered look. Really.. No one is running c5 brakes with these wheels? I must have had a unique idea or something.

Most everyone thinks you need a BFH. A little tip, theres also a thing called a cut wheel that goes on a grinder and it makes a nice clean mod, plus a little rust proof paint. I made a nice clean notch, lowered 1.25 inch and have ran 17x11 rears and at the moment are running 18x10.5 at all 4. Then maybe all you should need is a adjustable panhard rod.
