Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Yes, usually you can adjust for different offsets and clearances with wheel spacers (and new longer bolts).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, Will 18x8 and 18x11 wheels fit on a 2001 C2? I know that 18x7.5 and 18x10's will but I'm not sure about the added width of the slightly larger wheels.

POST 2Original post

Offset is the key issue here. On an 8 x 18 front the factory offset is 52mm. So, if that is what your wheels are you are fine in the front. The standard offset for the rears 10 x 18 is 65mm so depending in the wheel offset you should be okay with the 11's. I don't think you will be able to go much wider than an 285/30 x 18 on the rear without spacers though. BTW... if your car is a cab which I think it is (via your signature) then you might want to be a little careful. A cab is not quite as ridged as a coupe so if you go too wide then you will add stress to frame components. Loren (99 996)

POST 3Original post

My track wheels are 18X8.5/11 using 245/35/18 - 285/30/18 Hoosiers. The car has been lowered 1.5 inches in front and about an inch in back and has -2 degrees of camber at both ends. Everything fits fine. As Loren mentions, just make sure you have your offsets right.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If the offsets are different is there a way to compensate?

POST 5Original post

Yes, usually you can adjust for different offsets and clearances with wheel spacers (and new longer bolts). You do want to keep in mind how this may affect handling - understeer vs. oversteer. It all depends on the offsets and what you need to do to fit the wheels AND balance the handling. Loren (99 996)
