y2k 18x9.5 ?
im running these up front and rear. but the rears required a spacer since they are oe corvettes and im using a 1inch spacer adapter. my question is there a shop/company that makes these with the a special offset or i can order to leave the tires/rims where they sitting now.
as in i like the stance now but wanna get rid of the spacer all together.
pics of my car can be found in sig.
thanks

i don't know much about offsets and stuff, other than what they mean...i've never really payed much attention to it since the wheels i had were stock and i widened them and used an adapter...check lmperformance.com they have replica wheels...even 18x10.5 y2k's they might have your offsets..

is the stock offset for the corvette y2k 65mm? if so i added the 1inch spacer to the rear, where does that leave my offset at? 1inch= 25.4mm do i add or subtract the 25.4mm

I was running the 18x9.5's all the way around without spacers. My inner rear fenders required some massaging, b/c the tires would rub when going around corners. The BFH mod fixed that in a matter of seconds though.
My 18x9.5's are for sale in the marketplace.

As for adapters and spacers, if they are made right, they are just as stong as stock. Especially if you spill for a Hub and Wheel centric unit.
