C6 18x8.5 and 18x10.5 fit?
Hey guys, trying to get the offsets from the owner of these wheels and he doesn't know if they fit the camaro. Here's the info...
corvette C6
18x8.5 - 265/35/18 front
18x10.5 - 285/35/18 rear
My guess is that they will fit as long as the offsets are good. does anybody have any other info? From what I understand, these are stock C6 wheels with standard offset (just don't know the #s)...

Ok, got an email from the owner. He says they are both +56. I must've misread his email, guess these are just C6 wheels...will they fit without any rubbing or BFH?

You shouldn't have much trouble running the 18's, but you'll still need spacers I believe.

Just got an email, they are new "repros" so that's why they are 18x8.5 and 18x10.5 and +56. I've been reading as much as I can, and what I gathered so far is that the rears will fit, but I may need a spacer and/or BFH. Can someone confirm this, cause I've got conflicting info in a number of places. Some say nothing is needed, some say spacers some say only BFH.

Should be OK, although the backs may need a little BFH or a small spacer (1/8" to 1/4")

Well, I got 'em...umm, well almost all of them! UPS decided to only deliver two wheels, I dunno how they let the other two, which nevertheless were EXACTLY the same (even same address, crazy, I know), slip on by. But I'm gonna call 'em and let them know how awesome I think they are...pics to come when I actually get FOUR wheels...
