Default AZA Z-1 wheels

Any of you guys run them? I was curious how much they would stick out on an f-body. Would they look ok, or are they going to give me a hot-wheels look (tire sticking out past fender)? They are 18x9.5 with a 45mm offset (link), and they have a nice FAT lip .

I saw they are pretty popular with the GTO guys. I bet these would look killer on a pewter camaro (such as mine ). Here are a few pics I found (all wheels in these pics are 19", but I would go 18" if I decide to get them):






I did a search and found a few threads with people mentioning them, but nobody who has actually tried them.

45 mm offset on a F-Car, 9.5" width is fine. I run 38 mm.

Do they come in a 5x4.75 bolt pattern or just the 5x120?

Just the 5x120. Its not the EXACT f-body pattern (5x4.75 = 5x120.65mm), but they said it would fit and give no problems. I'm still trying to figure out if that 0.65mm difference will affect anything. I did a search here and there are a few people running wheels with that pattern (5x120mm) with no trouble, others say they would not do it (puts stress on studs, etc). That is the only thing holding me back.

I decided to go another route and went with OEM Z06 wheels instead (for price and weight reasons). Plus the fact that the bolt pattern wasn;t exact kind of bothered me a bit.

fenix99, get some pics up once you have the wheels mounted/balanced.

Do the 8.5" wheels have the 45mm offset too?

On wheelmax.com they list the 18x9.5 with a 45mm offset, and the 18x8.5 with a 40mm offset.
