Smile c6 wheels?

Will c6 wheels fit on a stock trans am? The wheels are 17x9.5 front with 275x40x17, rears are 18x10.5 with 305x35x18

Do I need spacers? Will they rub? What other size tire (Cheaper) could I go with on rear?

Thanks for everyones help

I have that exact setup, 275/40r17 and 305/35r18 on my 02 Camaro. I centered the rear end with an adjustable phb and still had to trim the bumpstops to avoid contacting the wheel when lifting the car. My car has the heater hose mod and the fenders rolled, but the rolling wasn't necessary.

So am I going to have to do this? "I centered the rear end with an adjustable phb and still had to trim the bumpstops to avoid contacting the wheel when lifting the car"

Usually it is a given with Camaro's that you'll have to do that. With T/A's it's hit and miss. Some people say they have to some people say they don't. I'd err on the side of caution and say yes, you may have to do some minor grinding, or BFH at least.

Help me to understand, do I still need to put spacers on? I've got a 98 T/A, a friend is giving me his C6 rims and he's not really sure.

i have that same setup on my formula, i just cut the bumpstops off and did the BFH mod and no rubs at all after that, you dont need spacers or a fender roll on that size tire, are you lowered at all

Tires & rims are on car, just had to use smaller spacer but she rubs when you put her in the air.
