C5 Z06 Rims on a 85 Cutlass

I'm Planning to get these Rims for My 85 Cutlass, 17 x 8.5 in the front, 18 x 9.5 in the Rear.
What's the Backspacing I need? Any Adapters? Someone Told Me I'll need open End Lug Nuts for theses Wheels as well.
Plus I want to go with 275 Tires all around? Will I need to do any mods?
I'm still Learning when it comes to Wheels and Tires.

Those are gonna take a pretty big adapter/spacer. I honestly dont see these rims "fitting" on a Cutlass in terms of looks. But im sure someone has done it before so theres gotta be adapters out there.

That would take big spacers.. Fronts have a BS of roughly 6.5" and rears 7" On a Cutlass you need about 3.5 to 4.25 bs so you would need at least 3" or 3.5" spacers. Just my thoughts

I have two 3.5" adapters ill sell u when I had vette wheels

with all the wheels out there I never understand why anyone would by wheels that don't fit.....I wonder who makes those aftermarket wheels anyway

and maybe you want to check before you send them your money....

Good Looking for the Finishline Lookout, I wasn't Buying the Rims no Time soon, That's why I Asked first.
So what's a good Site where I can cop Me a Set of C5 Zo6 Wheels?

 

[pontiacgp]

I never suggest any wheel that needs a spacer or adapter. The wheels on a G body needs to be hubcentric

 

[G_Body_Enthusiast]

given how open the design of the wheel is allowing you to see behind it, if you put spacers on it it's gonna look like crap IMO.

i also wouldnt use spacers, i would only use wheels that fit correctly. there's just no reason to use spacers unless you're absolutely dead set on a set of wheels that were not made to fit our cars.

So how about some recommendations on 17" and 18" Wheels I can put on My G body? Cause all I find is 15" Wheels that I don't like.

well i bought legend 5 wheels from summit for 600 bucks total. 17x8" with a 4.5" back space. they even include the center caps. the wheels are made by vision but are sold by summit under their own name.

here's a link to summit. it's for 17x8 wheels with a 4.5" back space. http://www.summitracing.com/search/depa ... n/4-500-in

in the results are steel and aluminum wheels, chrome and painted/powder coated wheels. many varieties to choose from.

here's another link, same search except these are for 18" wheels. http://www.summitracing.com/search/depa ... eter/18-in

not as many to choose from but all will fit. please note that not all wheels use the same type of lugnut. our cars use a 60 degree conical style originally but you can use shank type or whatever.
