Default Rim fitment ?

I got some z06 deep dish rims for my 94 t/a from oe wheels and the fronts are 17/9.5 and the rears are 18/10.5. I bolted the rear rim on because i havent bought tires yet but when i bolted it up the rim was about a 1/4 inch into the finder lip. So what im getting at is with tires i pretty sure tire is going to hit. I searched all over the forum and everyone said they would work but i really dont think they will at all. The offset is 54mm. ANY INPUT ON HOW TO MAKE THESE RIMS WORK WOULD BE ALOT OF HELP.

Should be fine. I run 38 mm offset 10.5" wide rear wheels, with a 295/35R18 tire. I did roll the quarter panel due to the passenger tire ever so often nipping the wheel well lip.

With a 54 mm offset you should have plenty of room.
