I did not know the factory size for sure but thought that the 17 x 10 with the offest of 36 might be too much for the front. I'll probably try to get 17 x 9.5 with around a 48mm offset instead which should put the wheels about a .5" out farther and look better(definitely not going for the ricer look). Thanks I'll be sure to post when the care gets its new shoes. Thanks

OK I just want to triple check before I click order! *still need to flip a coin on what rims
*
17x9 ZR1 rims knock offs
17x9 SS rim knocks offs
I was thinking 275/40/R17 all around is there a tire that is 285 or 295 that fits on a 9" wide rim? Or should I just do 275 all around? I was thinking of running ZRIs again for daily from me enjoying mine before and trying to keep costs low.
Also if somthing I said is stupid feel free to warn me!

Most after market ZR'1 style wheels are 9.5" wide . . . 275/40ZR17 is the best recommended tire, but a 285 would fit.

z06 replica wheels (18x9.5 with +56mm offset) with 275/35R18 's will fit like a charm? or will it need a spacer? if so where can i nab one and what size?

OK, I searched this thread and didn't find it so here goes:
17x9 American Racing Rebels on a Camaro. I believe the backspacing is 21mm, which is significantly less than the 35-45mm range listed here.
Will they fit with a fender roll? Will they fit lowered an inch or so?

Xsta,
I've read almost all 21 pages (probably 18+) and I'm sure I'm Ok but I wanted one more head-check before pulling the trigger. I have an 02 Z28 and I want to purchase a set of replica C6 Z06 Chrome wheels. the size I want to use on all 4 corners is 18 x 9.5. Offset is +50mm. I plan to use P275/35 18 tires all around. I figure there should be no modifications needed to my car. It is not lowered. Am I in good shape? Is the P275 the ideal width tire or is a P265 better?
Thanks!
