18x10.5" z06 rim clearance issues? So I went to buy my z06 rims today when the shop told me that they had a previous camaro that put 17x9.5 z06 rims on his camaro and the rear tires rubbed the fender well. The ones I want are 18x10.5 in the back. If this is the case what are my other options of making these fit other than cutting the fender well? Has anyone else done this and had absolutely no problems?

try to find them with a 53mm offset. i have 18x10.5s on the rear with 295s and have never had rubbing issues. if you cant find a low offset then you might have to run a spacer. if you run a spacer you might wanna look into longer lug studs.

Try the Wheels & Tires section. There are dozens of threads about making Z06 wheels fit.
I have 18x10.5s with the factory +58MM offset and 305 tires. It required BFH mod to push back one area of the wheel well and a 1/8" spacer.
