Default 18" CCW Corvette wheels

Im looking at a set of 18" CCW rims off a c6 Vette. The fronts are fine but the back rims are atleast 11" wide with 295/55r18 tires...theyre pretty close to the inner fender but dont rub. Think Im ok?

edit: the reason I ask is because I have no idea what offset they are.

Yea Ive got a couple 285/35/18's Im going to switch them out with...those 295/55s are huge.

I dont really know if theyre even ccw's or what....does anyone know? They're heavy one piece rims but I cant find any tags or numbers.

well i have tried blingmaster, and had no luck. i had good luck with mothers billet polish... im gonna order some "adams polish" and see how that works, its suppose to be really good polish, then again blingmaster was suppose to be good...... i also polish by hand, i have no luck using the powerball, if you want a good shine, do it by hand!
take your time polishing them... drink some beers and have at it! thats what i do!
