I'm about to pull the trigger on 4 18x10.5 c5 z06 wheels but wanted to confirm that they fit in the front. I know the rear required BFH mod and I already have that, but what about the front? This is for a 18x10.5 +58mm wheel. Thanks
what size tires are you going to run? I have 18x10.5 +50 welds with a 295/35 tire on all four corners of my car. front rubs (or used to) on the fender liner, but I didn't care and just let that clearance its self. guys have run 315's on the front of these cars no problem, there is almost more room in the front than the back of these cars. you'll love the square setup, tons of front end grip
Interstate driving will keep you on your toes until you adjust with anticipation.

I'm running a 3/8" spacer, but I have a BBK on the front. I did a test fit without the spacer and it seemed to fit, but clearance was tight to the brembo caliper. Not sure for stock caliper though.
No issues here. I'm running a chubby toyo r888 295/30/18 up front. My low profile helps with the fitment. Seems from comments above the 35 will work as well.
I do experience quite a bit of front travel. The wide tires want to follow every dip & curve in the road. I'm also using a 15mm spacer. This puts the wheel close to the edge of the fender, nice wide stance !
Just wanted to update this thread for people to reference in the future. The wheels fit fine in the front, but required a good amount of BFH in the rear. I am running 295 Toyo T1's and they run wide for their size. The car feels very balanced and I can tell the difference with the reduced unsprung mass over my Ace Alloy Slicks.
I found them locally and traded my old wheels for them. I am not using any spacers. The front wheels are pretty close to the spindle but I haven't had any issues yet. The rear required BFH but has enough clearance now. The rear wheels are a little sunken in relation to the fender and people run spacers to improve how it looks, but I don't want to use spacers if I don't have to. I can get more pics
I recently swapped to this setup over the weekend. Going to get the car cleaned up for some better pics this week. Lowered on BMR springs. 295 Bridgestone Potenzas all around. 18x10.5 OEM c5z wheels. I run a 1/8 or 5/16 spacer in the front for my brakes,forgot which it is. And a 1/2in in the rear just to fill out the wheel well better.

I ran the RE760 Potenza's when they first came out for this wheel, awesome tire and the life on them for my driving was perfect!! So the 18x10.5 for up front with no modification required? Are you guys stock neigh in the front?
