will 18x8.5 / 18x9.5 fit on my stock 88 iroc?
i was wondering if a set of 18x9.5 rear and 18x8.5 front with a 56 offstt will fit on my stock 88 iroc without any mods or if i will need to use spacers?

You need to use adapters/spacers to bring the offset closer to zero with those wheels.
I would ASSume that a set of 4 (2"f and 1.5"r) adapters would be close to what you need.
Anyone care to correct my assumption?

I picked up a set of 4, 1.5" adapters off amazon to use with my 38 offset 17x9.5" wheels.
I believe the Skulte adapters are no longer available.
You should do some Google searches of thirdgen.org to get some adapter knowledge.

I have these wheels on my car, You'll need spacers for sure. 2'' front, I'd say 1.75-2" on rear. I have 2'' spacers for the front and I run a 4th gen 12bolt rear so I didn't need spacers on the rear

I like them a lot, really sets the car off. I have them in gunmetal/competition grey. Only difference is that I have 17"/18" with 275/40s in the front and 285/35s in the rear. I did have to massage the rear a little bit with a hammer because they rubbed during hard cornering. I don't think you'll have that issue with 275s.
