Wheel fitment
I am trying to figure out if a set of Techart Formula GT's will fit my 1998 C2S. The wheel specs are 8.5x18 front and 10.5x18 rear. Are any spacers required on the rear wheels?? Or should they fit without spacers. Currently I have 18 hollow spoke from factory. Thanks for your help!!

The wheels and tire sizes of the techarts I am looking at are as follows: Fronts 225 40 18, 8.5x18 offset 40mm and Rears 295 30 18 10.5x18 offset 42mm (has 15mm spacers) Question!!! Will this set-up fit a 1998 C2S Widebody??? Thanks in advance!!

At ET 42, the Rear wheels should be OK without spacers, however the offset for the front doesn't seem like quite enough. Normal for the front would be closer to 52, but will probably still work depending upon ride height, camber, tire selection, etc. Attatched is a spreadsheet to play with.

Part numbers for the wheels are as follows: Front-#096.210.858.040GT Rear-#096.210.058.042GT (according to Techart's website, the rear part # I have requires 15mm or 18mm spacers ofr widebody?? Good God I am confused!!

I am assuming since the front wheels are ET40 that would mean they will come farther out towards the fender, my hollow spokes front are ET52. If I do not use the spacers on the rear wheels (ET42), hollow spoke ET40, won't it look off...meaning the rear wheels would sit inside the wheel well much more than the fronts???
