Wheel Fitment ?s
Thinking of running these on my car so i can run bigger brakes, they are 18x8.5, how thick of a spacer would i need to run? Can i run longer studs and just get a cheap spacer or would i have to get the spacer that is like an adapter? Oh and its for a 89 Firebird Formula

Re: Wheel Fitment ?s
you would need the spacer/adapter things, really long studs and just a solid spacer would be asking for trouble.
Usually its a 1.5" or 2" spacer, depending on the offset

Re: Wheel Fitment ?s
Cool thanks for the tip about the spacers, I guess i need to find the offset for those wheels, and compare it to the factory 16s and try to get it close to that then right? What is the back spacing on the 16x8 factory wheels?
