Default +56 mm rear offset anyone?

Im looking at some Z06 replicas and the rears are 18x10.5 with a +56 mm offset and ive searched and searched and read the sticky...my question is just how much BFH w/ 295/35's do those of you running a similar setup require. any fender rolling? Id just like to know so I can prep and not just think I can slap them on. I know the stockers are +54 mm so will the 2mm make a difference or is the 295 the issue. thanks for your help!!!!

Where did you find 18 x 10.5 replicas? Are they C5 Z06?

I'm pretty sure I have the exact rims you're talking about getting. I have black C5 Z06 style black with polished lip without the rivets... 17x9.5 front 18x10.5 rear. I think 52 mm front offset and 56 mm rear. When they were trying to fit it in my 275/40s barely fit but that was without any modifications. I'm sure if I decide to switch to 295s I'll be able to fit them with some banging around.

im going with those except 18x10.5 all the way around with the 56mm offset. also going with a 315(mt et street 2s) on the back and a 295 on the front. half inch spacers up front, 1/4" spacers in the back, with 2.5" arp studs.

Rolled fenders and grinded the bumpstop and beat the hellllll out of the inside of the fenders. the fronts basically bolted right up.

soon to be lowered on stranos

the fronts im looking at are a 54mm so there should be no problem. i was just concerned about the amount of modification to the rear.

I am running them on all four on my TA with 295's.

Just needed a small spacer for the fronts and you are good to go.

If your car is lowered then you might consider doing the fender roller mod.
