    Seems like from that link the +35 offset ones looked the best to me. But that obviously doesn't mean I need to add 35mm, which is why I'm lost :/ does anyone know what offset stock is VS these stang ones?

    what year is the car?
    finding out your stock offset, would aid in knowing what thickness spacer to buy

    those are 18x8.5 +35mm. wheels.

    per your other thread your wheels are 17x6.5, but an unknown offset. i'd assume it's the "stock" +52mm we all know and love.

    knowing that, use a calculator to compare....

    - his 8.5" wide wheels are automatically wider by 1" on each side.
    - the lower +35mm offset moves the wheel out from the hub more, making the outside actually 1" + 17mm more out (total of 1.67"), and 1" - 17mm more in (total of 0.33").

    that's compared to your stock wheels. a 25mm spacer on your stock wheels will make your effective offset +27mm (8mm lower offset). so compared to that wheel, with the new offset...

    So a 25mm spacer will bring it out to +27mm, about a 1/4" past those stang wheels. So I would want somewhere around 18mm then?

    Thanks! I emailed them about their spacers. What do you think of them? Worth the cash?

    So what vehicle are we supposed to select for 5x115 that we have? Because the Pontiac only have 5x110 and 5x120, Chevy is even worse. What a poor layout for the site.

    EDIT: Never mind. Cadillac CTS has correct bolt pattern and hub size.

    Is there anything specific to look for in a wheel spacer? Materials or design?

    Most definitely... I'm only using two on the rear. If able to, I'll get a pic later.
