Correct Spacers for new wheels
Ordering a set of 17X8.5 56mm F / 18X9.5 65mm R C5 Wheels to go on my 86 L98. What size spacers do I need for these?
Also should I put in longer studs to compensate these spacers? I was reading that spacers are weaker than actual adaptors. My target goal within one year or so is getting the RWHP into the 500-550 range and I don't want anything flying off it!!

If youre putting down that much power I wouldnt be putting 9.5" rims on the rear, you'll want to go to 11". In which case I'd go AFS.
But otherwise I would call VetteBrakes and get their adapter.
