The 11" sawblade for the rear needs no spacer but those are rare and expensive IF you can find a set of 2.
If so, thats a min 3/4" (about 18mm offset difference) spacer on all corners. I went with 1" rear and could have gone 1.25" rear and 1" front without the wheels hanging too far out. The stance is good and the 'blades' look right with that position under the body.
Mines lower in the rear so a stock ride height will have even more space.
Buy some nice centric (centering ring) billet aluminum spacers with studs pressed in. The good ones will run about $75-85 each....
If you want the later ZR style 5 spoke rims, these are a doz mfg that make them in the C4 offset (38mm-pos) in fact, I think its now illegal to mfg a wheel thats not a 5 spoke of some sort...
I'll give you $10 toward buying ANYTHING else...5 spoke has become.....(trying to be polite)....uhmm boring? yesterdays designs? too common? plain? exactly like everyone elses?
Buying spokes takes the attention OFF your wheels and tires and places it squarely on your calipers and rotors... Fashion BS thing.
