So I'm going to be putting these on my TA and I need to know the correct size of the spacer that needs to be purchased. Thanks

i had to use 2 inch spacers all the way around to get the C5 vette wheels to fit on my formula, the are 9 1/2'' wide on the back though, 7 1/2 in front. http://www.skulte.com/adapterfaq.html (if you know your offset)

Ummm.... Yeah.... YOu dont want to run 2" spacers all the way around. First off the back wheel will stick out way too far from factory, and secondly the front will be inwards 0.5". Handling will suffer. Take it from someone who knows. I've done a lot of research on spacers. I'm running the exact same wheel on my car. To run factory offset with 16x8's, which is 0 offset fronts and +15mm offset rears. You'll need a 2.25" Spacer up front, and a 1.5" spacer in the rear. Here are the pics to prove i'm not talking crack... These were bought from http://www.ezaccessory.com/

Just like how the stock rear wheels sit.....Too far in.

You should run a run a thicker spacer (looks like another inch is needed) to keep the under the fenders, but not tucked in way too far.

Like on the stock 3rd gen 16" wheels. The fronts look MUCH better, because if their offset, than the rear wheels do.

I thought the stock wheels were too far in also, the two inch spacer gave me exactly what i wanted, its justa 1/4'' inside of the wheel well or so, same concept as the factory spacing with the front tucked in a bit, at least on mine, i didnt notice a handling difference, but to each his own i guess.

I'm running 2" spacers all round with my 4th gen wheels.No problems.

Captain.

Hey all I appreciate all the replys so far. So does anyone have any pics with the 2" spacers on their car so I can compare a little? Thanks

The problem with using a 2" spacer up from is you're decreasing front track by 0.5" this greatly reduces handling and also puts more stress on the inner wheel bearing. Having a 2" spacer in the rear will stick the wheels out closer to the rear quarter panels. in doing so it may increase traction, but it will so increase under steer with the smaller track up front, again decreasing handling. This will also have an adverse effect on your rear axle bearings and the bearing in the center section of the axle and may increase the risk of premature wear on the components inside.

my old car with 2" on all fours. Never had a problem.

The new one has the 2" spacers up front, and a 4th gen rear.

Here is mine from the side, sorry it was dark outside

The exception to this might be when running aftermarket brakes. IIRC, it places the wheel out about 1/4" on each side.

LMAO how come when he asks it everbody post pics and answers real quick like but when i asked i got SEARCH bashed.

sorry man personally I didnt see your thread. I would have posted had I seen it.
