Anybody running 315/30R18 ET streets ? Will they fit on my slightly lowered 01 Z-28? I have the C5 Vet wheels with
275/40/18 Toyo R1's with no problem.
My Vet C5 rims are 18x10.5" with 8" Backspacing. I just measured, I got almost 11.5" total Outside if the rim.
Thanks in advance, Zach

Here's an explanation of what backspace and offset mean
Your a little over a half inch more than my wheels and unless I'm backwards 
closer to the bump stops and inner fender walls.
. Backspace is the distance from a wheel's mounting surface to the back edge of the wheel in inches. By "back" we mean the brake side of the wheel. Offset measures the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the centerline of the wheel, and it is often indicated in millimeters. If the mounting surface is located closer to the street side of a wheel, then the offset is positive. If it is located closer to the brake side of wheel, then the offset is negative. If it is in line with the center of the wheel, then the offset is zero.
An example may simplify this: The centerline of a 10-inch-wide wheel is at five inches. If the wheel has a 6-inch backspace, then the offset is positive. Conversely, a 4-inch backspace would make the offset negative. A wheel that has a positive offset-or greater backspace-has to slide further into the wheel well to be mounted. Similarly, one with a negative offset-or lesser backspace-will tend to jut closer, or even beyond the fenders.
