does anybody know if solstice 18" wheels would be direct bolt on? i

 

Yes, no.

55 offset needs a spacer. !
15mm clears Brembo's, barely

 

wow 15mm?? thats a big spacer. the rears go on straight away? also, where did you source longer wheel bolts? or do our cars have standard lug nuts? i havent had a wheel off yet so sorry about the dumb question

oh , and any problem with rubbing?

 

Yes I extended the studs, they are Dorman #326, any parts store has them. They don't rub with 255x40 on the panel. I like the five spoke better here.

 

wow looks really nice. gives it a cool musclecar look. i have a set laying around , need to clean them up first though. are they just polished with a clearcoat on them? last i looked i thing the coating was peeelng and looking crappy

 

Yes they have a clear coat on them.

 

I have Solstice wheels on my SS also, but I am only running a 5 mm thick spacer with extended tip lug nuts.
