Default 17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear c7 z06 wheels

So I recently purchased these bad boys from OE wheels. However, the wheel and tire guys here in small town kansas swear up and down they will not fit my 2000 z28. I do not claim to be a wheel and tire expert, and settled on these due to them being what I thought was a bolt on part, and they look awesome, but don't do any good sitting in my garage. Of anyone else is running this size combo, some guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

What's the backspace on them? Why not just try em on? I'm pretty sure there is a thread on here with some guys that already have them on.

54mm front and 56mm rear. I'm currently out of town for training. Just curious if any one else had issues with fitment. Seems to be a pretty popular size

Levon, I can't help you out with the rears.

However, I have 17x9.5 Z06 replicas with 54mm offset on the front (and rear) of my 1996 Z28 and they fit perfectly. Don't rub, fit over the calipers, and they don't stick out any further then the factory ones did.

Ok thanks deebee. I appreciate that. He told me that I would lose the ability to crank the steering wheel far left or far right due to the increase in wheel size. He also started I would need spacers front and rear to make these wheels fit.

There's one guy there running those wheels in that size, doesn't specify offset though.
