C5 fitment question?

[JKnight]

I have the C5-based Baer GT setup and they are very tight with my cheap-o 18" coys. I had to use a flush valve stem to clear the caliper. You may find a 17" wheel with a front facing valve stem that will work, but you will have investigate it with templates from the wheel company or the experience of someone who has done it, cause it's gonna be tight.

You can also print the brake templates off of www.kore3.com and use them to check various wheels for clearance.

Thank You do you know the back spacing and/ or off set you used?

I believe they're 18x8. You wouldn't necessarily want to take my backspace measurements as my car does not have factory front sheet metal so your car might not like what mine does. I believe mine are 4" backspace though.

OK thanks John

So far what I think will fit is

18x8 4.5 backspace
18X10 5.5 backspace

If anyone know for sure this would be great thanks,
John

I would talk to the guys at Driverz Inc, Prodigy, or any of the other site sponsors. They can get you good prices and even better fitment knowledge.

I think you are going to need a 6" backspace with a 10 inch wheel and it is going to be a tight fit.
