Default 18X10.5" black zo6 reps w/rivets not doable?

Says in the sticky that 53mm is about the max. all ive seen is 58mm offset. So i guess i have to go with the 18X9.5"s. maybe im missing something

Some people have done it. I am not sure of the offsets they used. Might try a search or wait until someone posts here. I know its been done.

Think ill just use spacers to get the right offset. What are the best spacers around.

I have 18x10.5's in the rear with a +58 offset. They should fit the car just fine, but you may have to use a hammer and pound in a few area's of the inner fender to prevent it from rubbing (very small area's where it actually does). You can also run a 1/4 inch spacer in the rear which should prevent that.

10.5s up front is asking too much or could you space them out?

It has been done, but it is a bit much, since the tire will need to be fairly small, your best bet is a 18" x 95" front and 18" x 10.5" rear.

18x10.5, 53 mm offset on all four. 295/35/18 on back, 285/35/18 on front no rubbing, no spacers. Very tight on front but they do fit. Dont think a 58 mm offset would fit but i suppose you could use a 5 mm spacer to make it work.

YEa, 53 is safe, but some cars accept more. I had the 18x10.5 all around with 56 offsets at one point. I was fine with 275-35 & 295-35 and I was lowered. 58 would most likely need small spacers up front...id just run the 9.5s if thats the case

I would not use those, because my car would have to sit lower. I can do without the extra 1/2" of tire. Does it really make that much difference?
