Im running 18 x 10, with 275/35 on front and 295/35 on rear. I really need a little bit bigger tire on the front.

Thanks guys! 96SS, what offset/backspace are those? Did you have any issues with fitment? I was thinking about 18x9.5" with 285s, but if 10" wheels fit I may change my mind. Oh...and how much are you lowered?

No fitment issues, I'm running Eibach Pro Kit Springs and Bilstein shocks with adjustable Panhard and LCA relocation brackets. So its about a 1.5"-1.75" lower than stock. I don't have the offset/backspace but if you really need it I can take a wheel off and measure it. Just let me know.

I run 18s as well. Fronts have the max offset and I would have to look up the backspace on the rears.

Man...somebody is selling a set of these in the classifieds. Specs are:

18 X 9 1/2, 6.75 in. Backspace/+38mm offset. I feel like this offset would be too low for an fbody. Inner clearance would increase by .22", and the wheels would stick about .71" more than stock. Not sure how that would look?? Am I wrong here?

I'm going purely off of memory so I may be wrong but I believe my rears are +50. They could prob go in a touch but I have no inner clearance issues with anything. Having the wheels come out a bit over stock would be fine in my book since the stockers are tucked in pretty well (too much IMO).

I'm actually thinking of selling the wheels and tires. They are still in great shape with a lot of life left in the tires.
