Z51 wheels on my WS6.. won't fit need help!!
I bought these wheels from a co-worker, he used to work for Chevrolet and it went out of business, so the general manager sold all the old parts to the employees. I bought these from him and got a DAMN good deal! Problem is, they won't fit on the rear! Here are the tire sizes:
Front: 18 x 9
Rear: 19 x 10 (maybe 10.5 not sure though)
Here is what they look like:

I'm looking for a good website that sells the wheel adapter kits.. you know the ones where they bolt right onto your stock studs and then the spacer itself has its own set of studs for you to just pop the wheels in.. but I have no idea where to get them from. Any help would be nice. Thanks!
Also, my stock tire size is 275/40ZR17, which means 245/40ZR18 would be ideal for the fronts, and 285/30ZR19 would be good for the rear, which would make it close enough to the overall diameter of 275/40ZR17. Anyone wanna give me their opinion?

You can get cheap spacers on ebay. I'd search around on here and maybe google and find a better set though if you're using them for good.
I'd stick with a same size sidewall so it doesn't look goofy with a thicker tire in front. (i.e. 245/40r18 and 285/40r19)
EDIT:
These H&R's are very nice pieces. I'd look into these.

stock: 275/40/17 give you a diameter of 25.7".
a 245/40/18 tire gives you a sidewall of 3.9" and a 25.7" diameter.
a 285/40/19 tire gives you a sidwall of 4.5" and a 28.0" diameter.
That's a little to big in the rear. (that's what she said......)
a 285/30/19 tire gives you a sidewall of 3.4" and a 25.7 diameter.
the 245/40/18 and 285/30/19 would be nice. you'd have a little thicker tire up front, but i don't think it would look bad, as it's only 1/2", which is to be expected having a smaller size up front. it probably wouldn't even be noticeable.
