Default Hmmm, they gonna fit?

I'm looking at getting a set of 5 spoke 18" x 10.5 vette rims with a 58 mm offset. I'm running 18/17 stagger z 06 rims now and had to cut off the bump stops and massage the wells in the back to get the 58 offset to fit. Am I gonna be able to wedge the 275/18/10.5/58mm on the front? anybody know what spacer thickness I can use? All hillclimb/ autocross car when not on the street so the wider the better.

Yes, I've seen the thread, it shows a 10" as max, I thought I saw a thread about wedging 10.5s on a road couse car, but can't seem to find it.

So if I use a 7mm spacer on a 10.5x 58mm rim... I'm just gonna test fit my back rim on the front when I'm at the shop Sat. as it's the same size as all four of the new ones.My goal is to be able to rotate and have as much meat as possible. Any of you guys autocross?
