Spacers needed for these wheels?

Sendel S26 18 x 7 5 Black Rims Wheels Cobalt SS 05 Up 5H 38 | eBay

These remind me of the C7 Stingray Wheels.

It looks like 5x110 is super rare, and adapters, etc. are needed. I'd rather run a spacer. Anyone run spacers? Need longer studs? etc. etc.

Thanks!

more than likely yes.


to run a spacer the max you can do is 5mm or else it wont grab enough threads and can be dangerous.

Its hard to figure out if a wheel will clear the Brembos without physically having the wheel available, as the back of the spokes (where you end up having clearance issues), doesn't have an associated measurement.

The wheels you posted in the OP are the same width as factory LNF wheels, but due to their +38 offset, they will stick out 4mm further than an OEM wheel (+42mm offset).

Stick out further as in away from the brembos? I guess I just have to find someone with the wheels already

The face of the wheel will stick out 4mm further. There is no telling how the back of the spoke will hit/clear the calipers without test fitting.
