I could use some help here... My car came with some brand new Goodyear tires and wheels. The wheels are absolutely hideous, cheap pieces of sh*t that should never be allowed to be sold. But the tires are very nice and are quite expensive (IMO). I would like to find some wheels to put these tires on. I prefer on OE wheel as they just don't have balance problems like aftermarket...unless you really pay for the good ones...which I can't afford. Can you help me with the size wheels I need to look for? I am assuming they will need to be off a Corvette, etc, but I'm not sure of that. Here is what I have:
Rear 275 35 ZR18
Front 245 40 ZR18
Do most Corvette wheels fit without spacers, etc? I can't do that...not safe IMO. But suggestions would certainly be appreciated.
P.S. I went through the sticky...I can't make heads or tails of what works and what doesn't.

Vette wheels won't fit that front tire, it's way to narrow. I think a 245 would fit like a 7.5" wide rim, Vette rims are generally 9.5" in the front, which is the size your rear tire would fit.
Edit: Vette wheels fit F-Bodies really good, suspension mods would dictate if it would fit w/o a spacer or bfh.
