I tried the search and it only confused me further. I'm looking at some vette wheels, they are 18x9.5 and 18x11 comes with +53mm offset. I really like them but are they going to fit my T/A. Now with the search I've seen thet 53's will fit with no mods, some say BFH, some say I'll need a panhard rod. Anyone that can give me a strieght answer is greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, I don't plan on lowering my car. Don't know if that matters or not.

The only reason..if Im not mistaken that you'd need a panhard bar is if the car is lowered....
There are a couple of tire size and off set calculatoris in the "Will this Fit thread" you could use them....

OFFSET CALCULATOR

Check out this link to compare your current offset to what you would like to buy. It will tell you how the wheel will fit.

The 53 mm 18" x 9.5" will fit just fine.

Are you sure it's a 18" x 11" 53 mm offset wheel? Never hear of that size in a repica . . . But any way will it fit? Sort of. 50 mm is the best for a 11" wide wheel. So the 53 mm will require a bit more BFH and a panhard to center.

Yeah that extra 3mm is going to be killer to ya. But I hear the trans ams have wider wheel wells? Good luck though.
