Default Want to switch to z06 black replica wheels...

I have stock 16x8 wheels right now but was wondering if 17x9.5 or 18x9.5 would be the best replacement wheels? Can either of those 2 directly replace my current wheels without any modifications such as spacers and what not?

I have a 00' Z28 camaro. Thanks all!

Stock break system too

You don't need to do any modifications as long as they are the proper offset. With the sizes you mentioned they'll likely be anywhere from a 54-57 mm offset. You'll be fine and won't have to do anything. Just make sure you get the correct tire size.

If you run 17x9.5 go with a 275/40/17.
If you run a 18x9.5 go with a 275/35/18.

If you are lowered go with a 18" wheel and tire combo. It'll compliment the lowered look better. If you are stock ride height go with a 17" wheel and tire combo. It'll appear to fill the wheel well more so than a 18" because of the bigger sidewall on the tire.
