Usually need a 2" Spacer with the C5 wheels.. I'll be ordering a set soon myself! Just waiting for all this snow and crappy weather to go away already! Can't wait

Sweet Rims!!! Have you thought about painting your calipers when you install your new wheels? They'll be much more visible behind those wheels.

Ok, I just saw that my post was brought back, last I looked at it noone answered.

- I paid $650 for them from Tbyrne Motorsports (saw ad on cz28.com)
- I need 2" spacers for the front.
- I have a 4th gen rear so I am good there.
- The car isn't lowered, actually I redid the entire suspesion on the car, Z springs up front and WS6 spring out back!
- Yeah I will need to paint my calipers. Don't think dirty calipers would look good with those large opening.

Thanks for the replies. I also plan to run Kuhmo Ecstra Supra 712's on them 275 35 18. As soon as I get the tires I will shoot some pics and post them.
