I got my 18x10.5s coming. My tires (I got them today) are 275/35/18 fronts, and 295/35/18 rears.

My Z06's are 18x10.5 with a 58mm offset in the rear. I would go with something a little bit lower to get em 'out' more.

I'm sorry, I thought you were asking about tires, although now that I read it again, it says nothing about tires, lol. I am getting 18x10.5 +58 all the way around. I have a 12 bolt with 3" studs in the rear, so I can safely run a small spacer if I have to.

All four wheels you show have a 58 mm offset, the differences are colors . . .

A 58 mm will fit, although if available a smaller offset would look nicer, as stated a spacer can be used.

As for tires a 275/35ZR18 or a 285/35ZR18 all around more than likely will be your best bet. The 275's would be OEM height, where the 285's will be just a tad taller.

how will 275's be taller than a 285? i thought that number is the width and the 35 part is the sidewall height.

The 35 means the sidewall is 35% of the width (275 or 285). 35% of 275mm is 96.25mm, and 35% of 285 is 99.75mm, so the 285 will be ~7mm (~.27 inches) taller than the 275.

I didn't say the 275 was taller . . . I said a 285 will be taller, and Spanky explained it perfectly.
