Default Offset help please

Greetings all, I'm considering purchasing a used set of wheels for a 99 C2. The front wheels are 18X8.5 with 49 offset and Rears are 18X9.5 with 43 offset. Do you guys think I may have clearance issues or the wheels stick out beyond the fender? Thanks

You didn't say what width and offset your current wheels are so I can't use them as a basis.

The front wheel will extend an extra 7mm compared to a 8" wide wheel with 50mm offset.

The rear wheels will extend 16mm farther out than a 10" wheel with 65mm offset.

Thanks gota911, I currently have the sport designs, front 18x8-offset 52mm , rears 18x10-offset 65mm. I recall people using spacers(7mm and 15mm) on stock wheels to get them flush with the fenders so maybe this set would be perfect since it extends 7mm and 16mm respectively. Would I need longer wheel bolts with these new wheels? thanks for all the help

You are welcome.

No, you will not need longer bolts for the new wheels. Longer bolts are needed only if you add spacers.
