I found these wheels on EBAY and wanted to know if you guys think they would fit ok. I know that with a 17x11 wheel and 315s, you need to do some BFH mod and other things. But do you guys think a 10.5" wide wheel and a 295/30/18 tire will fit ok? these wheels are the exact wheels that i have been looking for and I think I'm going to buy them. But I want some opions first. the wheels up front would be 18x9.5s and I would put a 275/35/18 up there.

The 56 mm offset would give you a little bit of trouble. What is recommended in a 10.5" wheels is a 50 mm offset or lower. It can be done though since there are a lot of people that run the 58 mm offset z06 wheels. You can use a 1/4" spacer on stock wheel studs or you can bfh the rear inner fender wells. You should be safe with that, just bfh until you don't get anymore rubbing.

are those even the correct lug pattern for fbodies? as far as i knew, f bodies and vettes did not share the same lug pattern.

its the same GM bolt pattern for any GM car. 5x4.75". And i WAS thinking that the 56mm offset might cause a problem. Do you think a 1/4" spacer would be ok? spacers seem kinda ghetto to me. I worry that theyll cause problems.

I think if you do enough of the BFH mod you'll be okay. The recommended max for 9.5" wheels is 56 mm offset but the vette wheels are 65 mm offset. People clearance 9 mm to get those to fit. I don't think 6 mm will be that bad. Just get out the hammer.

56 mm 10.5" wide wheels is not bad, some minor BFH will be needed but other than that will be OK.

I used to run 58 mm offset, which moves the wheel inwards 2 more mm.

what im looking for is for the wheel to be flush with the top of the wheel well. i dont want it to stick out or be sunken in. but i guess these offsets aren't going to work without some BFH or spacers, so im on the hunt again for some wheels i guess.

The only way to get a Vette reproduction wheel to sit flush with the wheel well of a Camaro is to run spacers/adapters.
