Default Rims and Tires

i just bought a 2002 SSwith 50k on it. I want to throw some black rims on it. just not sure what size would be good for her. Ive seen people with 18x8.5 in the back and 19x 9 in the rear. I would like to get 18's all around. would 18x10's rub in the rear? or does any of these sizes rub? front and rear. THX

This is the sub forum for more engine related questions. You may get better results if you asked this in the Wheels and Tires sub forum.

Lol be easy on the new guy.
They will probably rub in the back. But roll your fenders and cut off that rubber piece and its mounting area back there.
I have 17x11s and they are stuffed tight.
Watch your offsets
Any vette rim offset will work
Anything wider that 10" in the front and youll probably have to grind the spindles
