Default PLEASE HELP!! will c5 deep dish 18x9.5 corvette rims fit my 2001 camaro?

I currently have 20x8.5 forte rims on my 2001 camaro and they r rubbing and making a really loud grinding noise i have no idea whats making it so i wanted to go down to 18 and found the c5 deep dish corvette rims 18x9.5 and i know alot of people on here have put the same size rims on here so i was wondering what i need to do to make them fit with no rubbing when i turn? thanx

They fit without rub, assuming they are OE Wheels.

They will fit just fine. If you lower it your going to need an adjustable panhard bar and lower control arm reolcation brackets as well. The front should be just fine as is. You might have to do some BFHing on your rear fender wells and possibly roll the fender lips but thats the extent of modifications youll need to do to fit an 18x9.5.

Karp has posted the correct info, and imo i would go 18x10.5 on all 4 corners, they look a hell of alot better than the just 18x9s all around,check the post your c5dd thread and you will see what im talking about

Just the rears, fronts can not be rolled as they are plastic
