18x9.5 C5 Z06 replicas stock sus ? I've got a set(4) of 18x9.5 C5 Z06 replicas
tire size is 275/35/18
and would like to put them on my 00 ws6
but would like someone to clairify what all I'm going to need to do to make sure they dont rub,or have any problems in the front and rear
I have heard different opinions like grind bump stop,grind down fender well,replace studs with longer ones
just trying to find someone who has done the same thing to their car
the suspension on my car is all stock
thanks for any help

from the sticky at the top of this forum:
You should be fine since you are stock
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.
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.
