Default Y2k Vette Wheels

http://www.wheelreplicas.com/c5.htm

what do yall think about these...the 18X10.5 ones...how well do they work and what size spacer should i need...would it be better to get them and measure for the spacers?...do you know anything about quality...this would go on an 00-01 trans am...i am wanting to put 295/35 up front and maybe 315/30 out back..i might just stay with 295's out back if they wont fit right with the 315's

i'd really like the 295's up front and some 345's out back..but i doubt that will be able to happen...i know i would have to widen the rim..but is it possible...i would want the tires to be flush with the outside of the car

Those look good on a lowered T/A..315/30/18 Bfg Drag radials are a good fit..Mightymouse just put a set on last week.

is that so..any pics...that would be nice to see...i went to his homepage and didn't really see anything that great...he only had them on the front with some slicks on the back....and yeah i think im going to get the ground control kit to lower it some..how well will the 315 drag radials hook with that small of a sidewall...and how long will they last if i don't spin them much...i.e. one or two trips to the track a month...what about rain too...also if they won't be that much of a benifit over the 295 radials i think ill just go with them and keep my 16" stock rims and throw some et streets on them...im concerned about the rain though since it is a daily driver and it rains fairly often here

18" x 10.5" will work out back with the 56mm offset offered. 295/35ZR18 tire. Spacer would be up to you.

That could work up front . . . not 100% sure though. 295 would not work due to clearnce issues with the upper knuckle.

A 18" x 9.5" witha 275/35ZR18 works great up front. 50mm offest would be your best bet.

i know the 295's work up front because there is someone on here that did it...he had to use a spacer....but it looks real nice...and yeah i'll prolly use a spacer to get the wheel to sit flush with the rear quarter panel..and the front as well

Are the prices on the site for all 4 wheels?
If so I might consider the 17x9.5
