Default 18x9.5 Z06 wheels need help

i am thinking about getting 18x9.5 inch Z06 rims all around, and ive been told that they fit and also that they rub and cause problems. i need some expert advice on this one and need to find out if they will fit. i am gonna get 285's on all fours and need to know if i will have any problems.

i have a 98 firebird with 18x9.5 zo6 replica's with a 56mm offset and 275's all the way around and have not had any troubles with rubbing but check the "does it fit thread" thats the best place to see if they will fit. its at the top of the wheels and tires forum

it says they should fit as long as the offset is between +50mm and +56mm

It is all about the offset, he is right. If there are any other concerns though as well you can always check with Xsta Z, but the 56mm sounds about perfect.
