Default Wheel spacers

Hello, i wanted to see if I can get some help on adding spacers. I am currently running 18x8.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. I want to see if I can add spacers to the rear and a wider tire without rubbing. The current rear tires are 285/35/18. Any help is appreciated

...knowing the offset will help to determine what size spacer you might need.If you have the boxes that the wheels came in, it should be printed on the box. Also you could take off the wheel, it should be stamped on the inside of the rim.I'd be interested in knowing your offset also.I'm running a 18x9.5 with 275/35/18's on the rear of my SC & was thinking about switching to a wider wheel or possibly moving up to 20's.....almost forgot to ask, is your car lowered & do you have any pics ???

I seem to remember a chart/diagram on this site with the wheel specs and spacers. It was color coded and everything. I can't seem to find it now. I feel it would really help the OP... can anyone help out?

Could it be the sticky titled SC430 Wheel Fitment ??? I glanced at it & it contains some good info about wheel sizes/offsets. I do remember the colored chart, but didn't see it in the thread, although I didn't read the whole thing...lol
