Default Z06 wheels?

Will 18x10.5 fit on a Z28? Anybody have any pics of them on a Black Camaro? And another thing, would it be too much if I got the quad exhaust setup from SLP w/ the LM and the Z06 wheels?Too much of the vette on a F-Body? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> TIA!

OEM ones off a Z06 will pretty much be a direct bolt on, then only thing I've heard is that you might have to pound some metal to avoid rubbing (nothing hard to do). I'm waiting to get OEM Z06's for my car so <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> .

Also, what would be some good tires(and size) to get if I do decide to go with the 18x10.5 rear, 17x9.5 front, I was thinking maybe NITTO's? Any suggestions would be great!! Thanks

Why not go 18's all the way around?? I did, and many others have too. This way you can still rotate your tires for longer life! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

So you think I should go with 18x9.5 all the way around or maybe 17x9.5 all the way around? I'ts hard not to go with the 18x10.5 cause of how bad@$$ they look!! I'tll be a while before I get them but I want to go ahead and decide now so I can look around for the best prices. How much would a set of 18s be? what would be the best width? 9.5? How about tires? Which NITTO's are alright?555R's? Any others with better traction for street/strip?
