Everyones setup is going to be a little different. Don't assume that an 8" rim with 4th gen offset will need a 2" spacer. I'll type out all the calculations below, numbers are rounded.
Stock Rims:
16x8 Front - 4.75" BS - +6mm offset
16x8 Rear - 5.25" BS - +19mm offset
Fitti's:
17x8 +20 offset (we'll just call it 5.25" BS)
With my front setup with the LS1 rotors, I need to subtract about 7mm of offset because of the width of the rotor siting on top of the hub (old rotor milled in a hub).
I run a 1.5" spacer up front with 17x8 +38mm
Out back I have 2" spacer with 17x8 +38mm
Both are very close to 1/2" from the fender lip. The 18x9 +50 will be at the same location, the extra inch will be on the inboard side.

Step forward in my book, I figure the car will be easier to paint in pieces... Tomorrow the rear bumper should come off and maybe the front fenders too.Originally posted by TylerT/AZ28 View Postthink of it as a step back for further progress.sigpic

Can you argue that it's "revolutionary"? Perhaps. Just because it's "new" and "different" doesn't mean it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

yeah the plastic ones. they were in the rear impact and the whole bottom half of the reinforcement bar was rusted out which made things more difficult.91 Trans am, 305, Lt1 cam, 24lb injectors, headers, SLP LM2, SW chassis, massive panhard, lowered, modded TPI, Tuned, 4.10s, Lincoln locked
