Default Hub centric spacer help.

Ok guys I've searched until I was blue in the face. I was thinking about purchasing Y2K C5's, but the rear definitely needs to come out of the fender some (18x9.5 with a 56MM offset). I love my car as well as my life, so I'd rather not put something that's not safe on there, so I was interested in the whole hub centric spacer deal, but I'm having a hard time finding it.

My questions are:

1. If anyone that has a TA with the wheel combo, can you please post pics, just so I can see them.

2. If anyone knows where to get these spacers from PLEASE let me know.

3. If anyone knows what size spacers I should get to bring the wheels out close to being even with the fenderwell, can you please tell me.

Yeah I asked for a lot, but I suck at trying to figure this **** out.

TIA

Joe

Cool. Ok this may sound like another stupid question.

Say you have an 18x9.5 wheel with a 56MM offset and a 18x10.5 with a 56MM offset. Would they both stick out to the same spot because they both are 56MM offsets or would the 10.5 stick out further because it's an inch wider.

YUP. the rear tire would "technically" stick out 1/2" farther . . .

An 18 mm or smaller spacer will work very well front and rear, I would not run any bigger spacer. That would get you an offset equivalent to 38 mm.
