Default Will these fit stock height Camaro

Can someone tell me if these will fit a stock height 98 Z28? I dont want to do any cuttign etc, They'll be coming to the England so a long way to send them back if they don't!
Also, you can get this wheel in 17 inch front and 18 inch rear, Any reason why you would get different sizes?

Thanks

different sizes are usually for creating a raked stance , no handling benefits , you shoudnt have any problems because of your height , stock or lowered , if you run really wide tires you might need to hammer the wheel wells a little bit but you nothing so major that youd need to send them back ! glad to see F-body's in the UK , hoping to bring mine this summer ..

Grinding down the bump stops is HIGHLY suggested. Not sure on a stock hieght car but i think BFH mod is a must.

The 18 x 10.5's w/+56 offset will need: BFH on inner fender well, trimmed bump stops, and a adjustable PHB. The reason for this is the offset, a +45 to +50 offset is what you really want for the best fitment. If you don't want to deal with this then just get 18 x 9.5s for the rear also.

It also depends what size tires you will be running in the rear. I have 315s. I had to trim out fender, grind bump stops sever millimeters, bfh inner fender (alot since im lowered 1.75). run 1/4 spacers, longer shank lugs (since i didnt get longer studs)
