Default Do the C5 thin spoke 18x9.5's fit up front on an 00' SS????

Just as stated, curious if the rear C5 thin spoke 18x9.5 wheels will fit on the front of my SS.

Considering possibly running that size all around since they are generally a cheap wheel to get.


May go another direction altogether, but.......just an option I'm looking into.



Thanks for any help/input.............

Fit on the front of my 94 TA with no problems. Pretty close to the knuckle though.

Here is my 95 with 18x9.5 GM Y2K wheels with corvette offset. I run a 5/16 spacer front and rear to put the wheels out to the edge of fenders like stock

Cool, thanks guys.

My SS has C5 wheels currently (17x8.5, 18x9.5), and shes in need of front tires soon. So, I'm just kicking different ideas around.

The previous owner got into some curbs pretty good with the fronts so between them needing some work and the tires being shot I'm considering just tossing my rear wheels onto the front and getting either some other 18x9.5's or 18x10.5's to mount some stickier tires out back.

Also naturally considering other wheels altogether. My budget is a touch tight so its influencing my decision the more I think on it.
