Corvette wheel on F-body fitment question.
I have picked out the wheels i think im gonna buy for my 99 Formula. They are wheels off a Vette. I think i want to go with 18's since ive never had 18's but i could be talked in to 17's.
The offset is high+, can anyone confirm that these will not get completely sucked up by the fenders? I dont want them to be in too far.
Also, im kinda up in the air on running 18x9.5 all around or 18x10 in the rear.
Staggered is cool...but same size i get to rotate
How about tire size?
Any input is appreciated?

What are they? 65MM offset? You're gonna have to do the BFM mod because they're going to rub on your fenderwells and they're gonna stick up into your fenderwells also. I'd suggest spacers. Don't forget to upgrade studs though.
I have 18x10.5 Z06's with a 56MM offset on the back of my TA and you can see the tires sticking past where the bumper goes in (from the back) and you can see the wheels from the front. They could stand to come out about another inch, but the difference IMO isn't worth spending money on studs and spacers.

Guys, the wheels i have in mind are the OE Creations(replicas) ZO6 Motorsport wheel. 5 split spoke black with polished lip and rivets. Size is 18x9.5 56 offset.
Im thinking about running 275/40/18s all around.
They will be going on a 99 Calypso blue HT Formula.
