help 18' american racing Palmetto ts i was looking for a set of rims for my 98z and found these on a local site and i did a search to see if anyone has these rims but nothing came up on them here. my question is will they fit my z28 there 18x8.5 american racing palmetto ts the back setting is what i belive to be 5 1/8 and offset is 10mm but im not sure if they will fit because they came off a 93 camaro.
does anyone know anything about these rims? or a pic of them on a ls1?
if they will fit what size tire could i use on them?

in my sig are the wheels. 18x8 +40 fronts and 20x8.5 +38 back.
a +10 offset is going to probably make them stick out past the fenders even with rolling the fenders. don't know what you mean by back setting.
my 20x8.5 has a +38 offset which kept the wheels 1/2" from the fender lip before a roll. with rolling the fender, you could have 1" of clearance on a +38 offset till you hit the fender. that +10 offset will roughly make it stick out 28mm more than my +38 offset(38-10=28mm difference). 28mm is more than 1" further out. 25.4mm=1". diffrence of 28mm-25.4mm= 2.6 mm. maybe 2.6mm won't stick out past the fender since i was eyeballing the gap from wheel to fender but with a 245 or above tire, you'll definitely be very close if not past the fender. i don't like being close since the rear could sway while driving and make the tires rub. when my 10 bolt was gettin ready to go out, the wheels were swaying enough to rub.
if you aren't lowered, then it may make it easier since i am lowered about 3" in the back and tucking part of the 245/35/20 tire.
-also had the 18x8 with +40 offset in the back with 255/40/18 tires and looked ok. i would say the tire was about 5/8 inch from the fender lip. maybe a little more.
* the numbers described are with an adjustable panhard centering the rear.
