So they are not going fit up good then? Would it still work?

The axle needs to be supported when installing the 11" wide rear wheel so that it will not conflict with the bumpstop. The bumpstop is there to control the motions of the rear axle. Some people modify the bumpstop, but I feel it is unnessary.

As for changing wheel diameter, it has no effect, other than on your pocket book, and limited tire sizes.

People do run 5 x 120mm bolt pattern wheels on our cars, they will go on, but technically they do not fit. I just want to make sure you understand that.

Can they be bolted on? Sure can.
Will they stay on? More than likely.
Could there be a problem? Possible.

When it come to wheels and tires I do not like pushing the recommendations, since your wheels and tires are the only 4 things keeping our car shiney side up.

I'm looking @ a set of front wheels 15X5 1/2 with a 3" backspace and rears of 15X10 with a 4 1/2" backspace. I want to put a 195/60-15 up front and 295/50-15 in the rear. I was wondering if the wheels/tires will fit? My car has not been lowered and it's a '98 Z28. I know everyone doesn't like skinny wheels/tires in front, but it's the look I'm going for. Any advice/help is appreciated.

I have no knowledge of drag wheels and tires, so I cannot respond, your best choice would be to post in the general forum and/or search.

Sorry if I missed this, but ......

Will a 18*10.5 57mm offset Z06 replica with a Nitto DR 305/35 zr18 fit on a 99' Camaro SS? I'm afraid it may be too tall, so I may just go with 18*9.5 with the Nitto DR 285/35 zr 18 or maybe the BFG DR 295/35 r18 or 315/30 r18 on the 10.5 rim? Also what offset should the 18*10.5 be?

Thanks for the help?

Nitto DR, & BFG DR Chart are thumbnailed.

I just ordered a set of 4, 17" x 9.5" Z06 (+54mm) for my '02 Hawk. I know from reading this thread that the wheels will fit without a problem.

My question is, will I have any issues running a 285/40/17 tire at all four corners (Kumho MX)?

The car has the Bilstein suspension in case that makes any difference.

Thanks,
Steve.

May have some minor rubbing up front when the sterring is at full lock, not other concerens should be had.

A 305 is a huge tire, I have 295's and am more than happy.

A 57 mm offset will fit, but inner wheel well mods will be required, especially with the wider tires.

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation Xsta

I'm looking for chrome 18*10.5 Z06 wheels to fit a '99 Camaro SS Convertible.
According to the "Does This Fit Thread" the need to be:

18"x10.5" +50 to +53 mm.

Who sells them? If they are not a sponor please PM the info.

So far I've found 57mm, and 56mm. Will those fit without the BFH mod and a 295 tire?

With the exception of the above post, this sticky doesn't really touch on convertibles. I want some TTIIs on my lowered 2000 Z28 Convertible. I prefer 17" up front and 18" at the rear. What is the widest tire/wheel combo I can run at the rear w/an 18" and w/a 17"? Or should I just stick w/17x9.5 all around?

Unfortuantely the 50 and 53 mm offset 18" x 10.5" Z06 wheels are like finding the needle in the haystack. I ran 57 mm offset 10.5" wide on the rear of my rag top. They fit with some minor BFH to the inner wheel well surface, the alternative is to run a 1/4" to 5/16" spacer.

IMHO ther is no point in running a 17/18 combo on a F-Car, unlike the Vette the overall diameter of the tire front and rear needs to be the same, so when you runn different diameter wheels the side walls of the tires, change taller in front and thinner in back which looks odd to me,

There really is not much difference in the convertibles rear wheel wells, so that is why I do not have a separate catagory.

On the American Racing TT2' in the 17" size there is only one offset availalbe that fit the F-Car, and it is 44 or 46 mm for both the 95." and 11" wide wheels. The fit just fine on rag tops, the front tire should be a 275/40ZR17 and out back you can run a 315/35ZR17, but there may need to be some minor inner wheel well massaging and possible lip rolling

ok first off i apologize for posting this but its getting late i a swear i read to page 7 and didnt see my answer yet , xsta z28 u must me a tire fitmant genus you seemed to have answered everyones question i read up to so im guess this is half assed directed toward you.
i have a 99 z
my rims and tires came off a stock 99 vette. they are refered to as the wagon wheels i believe the size is 275/ 45 / 17 upfront and 285/40 / 18 rear ( they were the stock goodyear tires on the stock rims ) the eagle f1 runflats. fronts are 17 x 9 i believe ( ? ) and the rears are 18 x 10 ( ? ) again i believe.( if i had seen the backspacing for these rims in the thread i could have answered my own question but these are not the zo6 or y2k wheels i saw listings for ) is it uncommon to have no fitmant issues w/ the rears at all? mine are on and seem to be doing fine so far ( stock suspension and ride height ) if i lower the car will i need the bfh mod yay? nay? mabey?
i was told up front i would need to and imagine wow they didnt go figure.
again i know you have proble answered this 100 times...sorry. its past my bedtime

The Corvette "Wagon Wheels" are 17" x 8.5" front with a 245/45ZR17 tire and the rears are 18" x 9.5" with 275/40ZR18 rear tires. There typically are no issues with the stock front wheels but there are sometimes conflicts with the rears. As for lowering, the possibility of having to do some inner wheel well mods is there, but very slim.

thanks for the answer there xsta z28, what are the common conflicts with the rears on a car like mine?i havent seen any inner fender rubbing or marks on the tires or rim itself ( been about 1k miles since install ), the only problem i seem to be having so far is that the sidewalls on the runflats are so stiff my wheel hop is attrocious. you can feel every lil crack in the raod, if i ran over a dime i could tell you if it was heads or tails. going to be puttin umi lca's on this weekend and hopefully they will help some.
oh and by the way thanks for all your input it means alot to someone like me trying to learn about 4th gens after working on 1st - 3rds for about 13 yrs now.

XSTA...

Will THESE WHEELS sit flush with my fenders on all 4 corners? The site claims they are +39.37 offset which should work on a F-body right? I would like the wheels to have a wide stance without protruding out from the fenders. I will be running 275/40 tires on these. All my mods are in my sig.

Thanks for the help

From your link I am guessing your are looking at 17" x 9.5" American Racing TT'2? If so they fit our cars very nicely, although I thought their default offset was 44 mm.
