18x10.5 Rims? Will 18x10.5 rims that are NOT deep dish rims fit on the back of a 97 Camaro SS safely?
They will NOT be for racing, only for appearance, and it will have Strange Adjustable Drag Coilovers on the front and rear of the car. When I go to the track I will be using my draglites if I use my slicks, or my 17" ZR1's if I race in a class for street tires.
So, ill this work or no?

They should fit ok, may need a 1/8" spacer and some bfh mods to the frt inner lining area i have a set of c5 zo6 wheels with same spec im running a spacer on the back of my firebird and clear no problem with very little mod but u got make sure u have the cars weight on the axle to install the wheels or ull run into hitting ur bump stop, i cut mine out cause ill be running a differe bump stop so it made the wheel removel easyer

I am installing the drag coilovers and removing the bump stop, and I will be rolling my fenders before the new paint job right before the rims go on. I am going to TRY it with no spacer just because I don't like them lol, but if it doesnt clear, I will try it with a spacer.
i only used the 1.8 spacer just to give me a little more room so I didnt have the beat the inner fender in and im running 295 tire will be upgrading to a 315 later on, but some cars have better luch than others from what I was reading.

I am gonna keep my 17x9.5 ZR1 Rims and just get them cleaned up, I am gonna have a set of Draglites and Skinnies for the track, and then these will be my street/show rims. I am getting the exterior of the car repainted with a fresh coat of black. The interior is in the middle of a conversion from Charcoal Grey to Ebony Black with all new leather seats and everything. I think the car will look great with the black rims...18x10.5 in the rear, 18x8.5 in the front, and a nice set of Nitto's for ***** and grins haha.
If you order the right backspacing theyll be Fine Ive seen Lots of guys with em on All 4 Corners!!! The funny part is OE didnt know the guys on here were runnin 18x10.5 front & rear Till the post askin for pics for their website
