18s?

How would 18x9.5 with a +50mm offset wheels looks all the way around. Will this offset look fine or would i need spacers? 275/35/18 tires would be used on all four wheels.

A quick look on some of the sites that sell custom rims shows 46mm for al the 9.5's.

I would think 50mm would be close enough to work.

For the 4mm difference, I don't see any need for spacers, that is only about 1/6th of an inch.

wow cheap! you have to watch though. i think you need 19 inch wheels to clear those calipers, might be 18's though. i am going with c5 z06's and have to figure something out for the rears.
