35 mm wheel offsets

how would 35mm offset wheels sit while using the 4th gen differential?i can always add a small spacer.

i did the math and i would need atleast a 1.25 spacer for the front.

anyone out there using aftermarket wheels with this offset?

im mainly concerned about the rear.
a 40mm offset vette wheels would fit a bit tucked in. 35 mm would stick out 5mm towards the outside. what other info would i need?


p.s the wheels are ganna be 18x9.5 5x120mm bolt pattern all around. with 35mm offsets

Re: 35 mm wheel offsets

40mm is actually a little low for a 4thgen rear. These are 18x8.5, 54mm front w/2" spacers and an Ed Miller C5 kit that adds .3". Rears are LS1 rear end w/18x9.5, 56mm, no spacer of any kind. Tires are 245/40 and 285/35. 35mm on a 4thgen rear is gonna' stick out a bit.

Re: 35 mm wheel offsets

These wheels are only made in 35offset. Now I'm a bit confused.. this would allow me to use a smaller spacer vs. What I have now on my 56mm 18n c5 z06s. With 2inch spacer.. no spacer in the back due to the fourth gen diff. (Tucked in a bit too much imop)
