Im leaning towards no because of the shape of the spokes.

Correction, they will fit, its just the specific measurements for the vettes that wont allow these wheels to fit a mono block caliper. For pics, look in the sponsor project section at the red SS that W2W is building.

Danger, Will Robinson!

The SP500's in those pics are not their standard front offset for F-body. I'm virtually certain that CCW's recommended offsets will not clear ST40's without a small spacer. The front wheel's shown in W2W pics are 18x10 with 7.40" BS (+48mm offset) and they do clear. The recommended CCW 18x10's are 7.75" BS
