Wheel Fit Guide
So is the tire wheel fitment thread in the SC forum a good gauge for the LS's.
I'm considering spacers on the LS with 18x9 front and 18x10 rear, 245 40 and 275 40. Trying to figure out what size spacer I could go without rolling and pulling the fenders.......well maybe a little rolling, I did that on my first car....a Datsun 510, back in the day.

Anything stamped on the rims that will tell the offset?
Right now I can fit two fingers between the rear rim and the fender at a 45 degree angle, two and a half on the front.
Is it going to be a situation of trial and error? Go to a shop and try on spacers, like shoes??

Yeah.....if I went that rout I'd have to flare the fenders. Not a fan of the tire hanging outside of the fender.
I did that to the 510, I was into the full on SCCA race car look, and ride. Flared fenders, built motor, loud exhaust, no interior except for two fiberglass seats with a little padding on them.
+25....I'll be reliving my youth, girls weren't into SCCA, maybe I can get my wife into the back seat of the LS..........Nah, she would just complain that her head keeps banging into the baby seat

Was thinking the same thing, it looks like I can go another inch. There is a new shop that just opened near me, I'm going to stop in and see if they have spacers, see what they say.
I wanted to gather some info here, so I can pretend I know what I'm talking about. I know one thing....this isn't rocket science!
