Ok i can get 4 chrome Y2k C5 wheels in 18x9.5 on ebay for $899. Is it worth an extra $400 to get 18x10.5's for all 4 corners ($1299)?
If i got the 18x9.5 i was going to go with 275/35 on all corners and if i got the 18x10.5 i was going to run 285/35 on all corners. Will they look that much better and perform that much better to justify the extra $400 on wheels that are 1 inch wider and tires that are a little wider? Will both these fit fine without rubbing on a camaro with a pro-kit and revalves.
Thanks

Nope, not in my opinion. The hair difference between a 275 and a 285 is not worth $400. I would go with the 18x9.5's - they're plenty wide for normal use <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
