Default Torque Thrust M help

Can anyone tell me if i can buy AMERICAN TORQ THRUST M 17 inch by 10.5 and fit them straight onto my 98 Z28 without any adaptors wheel arch problems etc? the only ones they list on wheelspro.com for my application are 17 x 9? I wanted to buy wheels from oewheelsllc because there's seem the cheapest and have a better choice, but shipping to the UK costs alot more than the wheels, so frustrating!
Thanks

Is your car lowered? If its not lowered you probably won't have to do anything. Maybe the BFM mod, but I doubt it.

What would a guy need to do if his car was lowered? Say with some Strano Springs and Konis?

I don't presently have either, but I am looking at getting a set of TTMs very soon. And I know I'll eventually breakdown and spend the cash on shocks and springs. I'm just wondering what I'll have to do in order to run the 10.5's on the rear.

I know what the BFH mod is (Big ******' Hammer), but I don't exactly know where its meant to be used. This makes me unsure of whether or not I'm willing to perform this mod.

Any insight would be wonderful.

Sorry for the hijack, O.P. But I think these are some questions you may want answered as well.

I have 9" in the front and 10.5" in the rear with 315s. No fitment problems at all. It is kinda close but the offset on these wheels really helps fitment. They also sit flush with the fender and look great. My car is also lowered and has a Strange 12bolt.

My friend has the 17x9 and 17x10.5 Torq Thrust M's on his 99 Camaro and they fit just fine. In fact, I ordered a set for mine in the exact same sizes off of wheelsforless.com

Sorry that was a typo, I meant to put BFH. Just where you hammer in the inner part of wheel well if the tires scrape.
