Common 18's would be Z06 replicas in 18" x 10.5" recommended offset 53 mm.

Now will this offset put it outside the rear quarter? Like sticking out past the fender a little? Because I don't want that either.

Okay, I've read quite a few of these pages...but have another question...So would a 10.5" wheel with a 60mm offset and 7 5/8" BS work on my SS Camaro or would it be too closes to the wheel well? I currently have 11's with I believe the 50mm offset. I have already done all the "messaging" of the inner fender wells and rolled the lip of the fender. Before I buy these I just want to make sure if the 60mm will be too much or not.
From what I understand with a 60mm offset I may need a spacer for these to get the right look (flush with the fender) like my 11's have. What spacers would ya'll recommend and will I need longer studs? If I stay under 1/4" spacer I realize I wont need longer studs. But will 1/4" be enough for the look with a 60mm offset...?
Sorry if this has already been answered before....

The wheels I'm currently looking to buy are available in 5X120 with either 35mm or 42mm offset. I plan on running 18 X 8.5" up front and 18 X 9.5" out back. Which offset do you think would look best on my T/A? I'm thinking the 35mm would look nice, especially with the car being so low. I would think that 7mm of difference would be barely noticeable but I may be wrong. The wheels have a deep dish (2.5" on the front and 3.5" on the rears) if that would make a difference.

In the 8.5" width either offset will be fine. The 9.5" offset for the front will not work with a 35 mm offset, but for the rear would be fine.

I am curious about that risk. I was thinking of ADR 18x9.5 120mm they talked about using aluminium center rings. But the ADR tech line was worthless...at least the guy on the other end was. More info please.

I want these rims but I am not sure if they fit f-body's. They are AZA Z-1's. 18 x 8.5 35mm offset front, 18 x 9.5 40mm offset rears. They also have a 5x120 bolt pattern if that helps. Here is the thread for them - https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/355350-gto-rims-aza-z-1-s-18-inch-less-than-2000-miles.html. Thanks.

but why do they need to be supported?Is there a problem when lowering the vehicle and weight be put on the suspension?Also, since it 17x11 @ 50mm offset works great, is it safe to assume an 18x11 or even 19x11 will also fit great (assuming fender rolling and BFH mods are to be performed) with the 50mm offset?
