Help me out
Help me out Alright I may get lit for this, but I just want to be sure on a few things before I get my new wheels. I was wanting to get some chrome C5 zo6's. I was wanting to go 18/9.5 up front and 18/10.5 out back.
1. Whats the highest offset I can go on front or rear without having to modify to make them fit?
2. Can anyone direct me to where I can buy the set I want together....or would I have to buy (2) 18/9.5 and (2) 18/10.5 seperately?
3. What would be a nice looking aggressive tire size for the (2) on the rear. or what would be the recommended size? (Again so that limited or modifications are needed to install the wheels/tires).
Said questions are for the car in sig.
Edit: Also, if Im adding a prokit or some similar lowering springs, would that affect the questions above? Thanks guys!

Z06 Corvette Replicas:
17"x9.5" +50 to +56 mm no problems. 275/40R17.
18"x9.5" +50 to +56 mm 275/35R18 or 285/35R18.
18"x10.5" +50 to +53 mm. Higher than 53 mm will require the BFH mod. 285/35R18s thru 315/30R18. Over 295 may require rolling the fenderlip and will need the BFH. +58 mm is the typical available offset for the Z06 replica, which will require a little BFH and/or a small spacer.
OE Wheels may be able to hook you up, they have 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 C5 Z06 rims. Just need to see if they can make a set out of them for ya.
As for tires, a 305 or 315 out back looks aggressive, but you may need to BFH and roll the lip in the rear a bit when you lower the car.

I dunno, but some ppl are running OE Wheels DD Y2K's - 18x10.5 all corners, so doing what you want to do should be no problem. MAyve someone with that combo youare interested in will chime in soon.
