I just switched out the 17's for 18's in the rear, and no spacers needed,

No rubbing issues so far, but after I put the new 17 tires on the front, I am going to attempt to lower it to alleviate the space between the tire and the body, but so far no rubbing of any kind.

The tire size is 275/40ZR17 on the front (I havent put those on yet). I am not sure of the size on the back, but I will check later when I go outside.

I will post all the information later today.

See my sig photo. I used replicas in 17x9.5, figuring it was easiest to stick with a stock size. I don't remember the backspacing, but it was within a few mm of a direct fit.

I'd choose the C5 Z06 style now if I could, though...

Thin spokes? What about these? And these are really light.
