Will 53mm 18x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 Z06 replica rims fit on a 2002 camaro without using spacers or BFH mod? Front tires are 275/35/18 and rears are 285/35/18

I ordered AFS rims on their site which stated they were 56mm offset. The manager told me they were out of stock, even though they already charged me and the website said "In stock". Well he said he was going to check his "warehouse" to see if they have them in stock and they did.

Well the rims came today, and I noticed they are not AFS wheels, and they are also 53mm offset. I called up the same manager and he even admitted they are not AFS wheels, but a different brand they trusted, and the "warehouse" he said was a different company. This is horrible business and would not recommend them to anyone.

I read the sticky, but one section says:

10.5" ... +38 to +50 mm .... 285, 295, 305, 315 which wont fit because mine are 53mm

and another section says:
18"x10.5" +50 to +53 mm. Higher than 53 mm will require the BFH mod. which will fit

you'll be fine....put the rim on and then feel around to see where it may possibly rub and proceed to beat said spot with a dead blow hammer till it doesn't rub... then buy some
3m rubber coating spray and recover the spot...

Asuming you have a panhard bar, there should be no....Not One...problem. I personally would have went up a size or two for the rear tires...
I am running the same setup tires and all with a 18x9.5 rim all around

What is a panhard what does it do? And no I do not have a panhard. Will I run into any problems because of this?

The panhard bar keeps rearend from moving from side to side and keeps it centered. Heres a picture, its the red bar

If I don't have a pan hard with that setup, would I run into any problems?

Your car HAS a panhard bar!! What "Bullet95" means is an adjustable panhard bar, which will allow you to fine tune the real axle's location, so it is EXACTLY centered under the car. This gives you the maximum amount of tire clearance on both sides of the car.

You may or may not rub with your stock panhard. The 53mm will fit better than the 56. Depending on tire size you probably wont have any issues. I ran 295/35's on my 18x10.5 w/ 53mm offset on my lowered camaro and didn't have to do anything.

Oh sweet. Will the 53mm have a wider stance than the 56mm too? The wheels will be pushed out more toward the fender?

Yeah they will have a slighty wider stance.
