C5 Rim???

I tried to purchase the C5 rims for my 98 Z28 today. the guy on the phone didn't think that 18x9.5 up front would fit without rubbing. will 18x9.5 work all the way around. i am planning on running 275/35/18 for tires.

I ran 285 35 Nitto Extreme 555's on my lowered SS & there were no rubbing problems at all.

The rims i ordered off of wheelreplicas.com say that the offset is 65mm for the 18x9.5. will this be fine also?
