Is anybody doing it? I like the look of the Y2K rims, but dislike the 65mm rear offset on the 18's. The 56mm offset on the 17's is perfect, but they dont have them in a 9.5" width, just the 8.5" width. I realize its not necessarily what you should do, but whos done it?

 

theres companys out there that have them in 9.5 or even 56 mm for the rear in 18

 

or just run a small spacer for the rears.

 

Who makes them in 9.5?

 

Actually i had Y2K's from an 03 C5 and all i need was some spacers. They worked great. Here's a crappy pic but you get the idea.

 

Yeah, I know all you need is some spacers or to beat the fender in a little bit, but I dont want to beat my fender in and I dont like spacers, thats why I dont like the 65mm offset on the 18's.

I was in the same situation a little while ago. I had the factory thin spokes but I didn't like the tire selection/price for the 18" rears. All I could really find in replica wheels was the 17x8.5 in a 56+/- offset. Discount Tire Direct only offered the wheels in a 17x8.5 size. On the same day that I was ordering the Nittos from DTD, they dropped the 8.5" and changed to the 9.5. So, I was the first to order the 9.5" and only had to wait like 2 weeks for them to get some in stock. They are made by TopLine. There has been a problem with the center caps, but that was resolved on Friday. They kept sending me the wrong caps...literally 5 sets!! So, I got the wheels that I wanted with the Nittos mounted, balanced and shipped for a great price. Here is a link to the wheels.
You would think that someone from Discount Tire would know this...





BTW - I was going to order the wheels from TomZWheels since they were one of the only places that sold the 9.5", but DTD offered to almost match the price so I got everything from them.

 

the sent the wrong cap 5 times? yep that sounds like direct lately. except ive gotten the wrong set of wheels for customers like 5 times in a week
