18 inch Z06 rims
I'm looking to get 18 x 10.5 in the rear and 18 x 9.5 in the front.
Which offset will fit best on a 99 TA, and will I need wheel spacers? I'm planning on running 275's in the front and 315s in the rear. Will I have a problem with rubbing?
If so, what can be done about it.

the 9.5s are available anywhere from a +50/+56 for the front, and a +50/+53 is ideal for the rears. If you want to run the 315-30-18 rears youll need to do the BFH mod as well as roll the fenderlips.

Re: 18 inch Z06 rims
I really want Fikse FM5s but I think I will get chrome ZO6s until I can afford my Fikses. I was under the impession that the 18x10s fit without a hassle. So the 18x9.5 will work with a 275 tire on the front and the 18x10 will work with a 315-30-18 out back with a spacer and roll the lip? I didn't even know there was a tire in a 315-30zr-18. I used to have AFS ZR1 chromies and they lasted about 8 years before they started peeling. Will this combo 18x9.5/18x10 275/315 work with the car being lowered with a 2 inch drop?

50mm is the stock SS wheel offset, so the fronts will mount virtually identically to stock. The rears, 50mm will work great too. If you run a 295/35ZR18 tire you actually may get away with no mods or slightly having to do the BFH. If your must run 315 as Tod stated you will have to BFH and roll the fender lip.
I sold 57mm offset Z06 18" x 9.5" - 18" x 10.5" w/ 275/295 (respectively) to Kevin and he has a 2" drop. No fender lip issues, and I do not recall if he had to do teh BFH or not.
