few questions on C6r black rims I've taken a liking to the C6r black rims from tomzwheels. Would these fit on an 02 trans am? I'm wanting either 17 or 18 inch rims but Im not sure what offset would be required for these or even if they come in the right offset. Any clue? If its not too much to ask could someone experienced with photoshop put these on a red 98+ trans am?

If you referring to the black rims, I posted in my thread...they only come in the 18" x 9'5", 18" x 10.5", or the 19" x 10"....No 17" avail...the 9.5, and 10.5 combo will bolt up to the 4th Gen, the 19 is in the Corvette offset though...
LETHL_SS, and Teri have OE Vette offsets on their cars, just clearance the inner fenderwell tremendously...

Yea XxXTransAmXxX those would be the ones
https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/438892-tire-rim-suggestion.html
I guess I'd want to go with the 18x10.5 in the back and the 18x9.5 up front. Aside from these measurements I'm a newb when it comes to rim/tire numbers. My biggest concern is with the offset. I dont want to get rims that make the tires look too sunken in or stick out too far.
On Tomzwheels site it looks like 18x8.5+54 is the only 18 inch rim of that style I see, maybe I'm not looking in the right page. If they do come in 18x10.5 and 18x9.5 in the 54 offset would those look right on a TA (again not sunken in or sticking out too far)? I'd like to avoid spacers if I can. Thanks.
O yea, you say clearancing the inner fenderwell, what does that entail? Would I have to roll the fender lips for the sizes mentioned above?

Dementia,
Here's an update...I just talked to Tom...Those rims are made in the following sizes...
18" x 8.5"
19" x 9.5"
19" x 10"
I'm going with the 18" x 8.5 with a 255/35-18, and the 19" x 10" with a 295/35-19 BFG T/A KDW 2 combo....down the road I will get 2 extra 18' rims, and have them widened to 11" for a Drag Radial, but for now $$ is letting me get the combo above. Figured I would share with you. I will keep you posted if I use my spacers or not, however I will more than likely keep them for the DR rims....
Clearancing the inner fender well is using a hammer, and pounding it away from the wheel/tire assy....I am rolling the fenders on mine yes....Will you need to on yours who knows? I know LETHL_SS I believe put the 19" x 10" on his, w/o rolling, however there's a guy on here who I plan on getting his fender roller from to roll mine out of the way....

Wish they had 18x10/10.5 Perhaps I'll look into getting the 18s widened also. Didnt even cross my mind. Keep me posted on your setup and send me some pics when you get em up. Very interested and hope things go well.
