Twins with Twins, definitely tough to focus.

My .02 here. Different years carry different offsets. I'm running 2001 Z06 wheels on my car. Fronts are 17x9.5 rears are 18x10.5. Front hubcentric spacers are 2" and rears are 1.5".

My advice, be sure you nail the back spacing and be sure to pick up hubcentric spacers. You do not want the wheel supported by the lug nuts alone.

Sorry to hijack a little, but I'm looking at Corvette wheels on a g-Body and have the same questions about spacers as Murvilboy.

Also wondering is there any issues with running wide wheels spacers, say 2", and beating the car often on an autocross? Do the spacers cause any undue stress on bearings and joints because of moving the weight of the wheel so far away from the rotor?

Thanks...
