how do these wheels specs work out

Do these wheel specs look good? I plan on adding theC5 brakes up front which will push the wheels out another 1/4" .

18x9 with 6.00 bs and +25 offset,
18x10 with 6.00 bs and + 13 offset

these specs where emailed to me from newstalgiawheel
for the junkyard dog wheels

Minimum billet spacer size is 1.25 inch. 0.75inch if the wheels have recessed spaces between where the studs go. After that it's slip on spacer, and 1/4" is pushing it with those.

Offset basically has to be right on, or way off.

well you could order wheel with a 4th gen spec for the rear and a 3rd gen spec for the front but your gonna end up with a depper dish on the front wheels. Your 4th gen rear is wider so now you have lost any possibility of getting deep dish wheels for the rear. This was my problem and now Iam switching back to a 3rd gen rear

maybe i misread your post but you can get 1" thick adapters(spacers)...the only thing that is technically SAFE to use on cars...a 1/4" spacer is not very safe at all and you run a good chance of having a wheel come off
