Default 18x10.5 black zo6 wheels fitment?

I am wondering if 18x 10.5 wheels will fit all around w/out having to do anything to the car (98 ws6 T/A). Also does anyone have these black zo6 wheels on their car.

Those are sweet!!! And very reasonably priced. I would too like to know, so TTT for ya, but it was at the top already

I see they only have 17x9.5 and 18x10.5, so I would too like to know if 18x10.5's will fir all around, probably using a 295 on all corners, maybe 305 in the rear.

Here's a pic, from Thunder Racing

I know I've read on here somewhere that they will fit but not easily. The offset is ridiculously high on Z06's, like 58mm or something, so it will actually look kinda inward on the rear. A lot of guys had to use spacers for the rear to make them look better.

I believe that is on stock Z06 wheels.

i have the 18X10.5 on the back of my 99 firehawk. I have a 285, but wish i would have gone with the 295. As far as i know there shouldn't be any problems, just make sure when they mount the back ones they jack the car up by the axle, otherwise they won't fit. As for the front, im not sure. i jsut stayed with the 17X9.5. good luck and i love the wheels they look awesome.

There's someone on LS1.com that has 17x11 ZR1s with 315 road-race tire son all four corners. I don't remember his name off the top of my head but a search for "315s" there will get a bunch of threads.

I ran 18's on all 4 corners and only ran a 18X9 up front with a 265/35 and a 18X10 out back with a 295/35 and i had to roll the fenders in the rear. They would rub and eat chunks of the tire off..... and on the front i wouldnt go any wider then a 265 because they will rub when you turn... at least they did on my car and my buddys when i sold him my wheels.... this a pic..... not Blacl Z06 wheels which i myself am looking at getting but its a pic of 295's out back and a 18x10. Thats with Prokit springs also.

Need more info!!! Many people run 275's up front without issues. I would like to hear aout people running 285's or 295's in the front. A 295 or 305 in the rear should fit well with a proper offset.

I have the 18x10.5's on all 4 corners, and the fronts fit fine with 275's and there is no rubbing (not to mention the car is slammed about 2" in front). The rears I do run spacers and 295/35/18's and all is well.

I had 17x9.5 with 285s on the front of my z and didnt have any probs with rubbing. They were chrome z06s. Looked nice with some rubber up there. JP
