looking at a set of wheels that have a +40 offset and plan to run 245 or 255 will 2" spacers work?

IROC wheels are 0 on front and like 13 on rear. I did 0 on front and back and they are just about even with the edge of the fenders. I think 2" is the normal adapter for any corvette or 4th gen rims.

Maybe by the year 3000, we'll get to stop having to post this page over & over. BTW...38 is close enough to 40.

Depends on the wheels - 8" wheels will require a different spacer than 9.5" ones with that offset...

The offset is directly related to the width of the wheel.
