Help Please with ?BACKSPACING? i have read all the threads and dont, see any 1 checking the wheels this way...........
I received a set of ZO6 wheels at a really good price and I need help…before I mount a set of tires and can’t send them back. They are 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 for the rear. The front measure a total width of “10 3/8 and when I check the back spacing I get “7 ½ the rear measure a total of “11 3/8 with “8 of back spacing. Will these fit with out any/easy mods or will these have to go back so I can reorder a different set with different back spacing?? please reply

When a rim have an "advertised" width, it is the measurement from inside lip to inside lip, not over all.
Did they tell you the offsets? They should fit, but thesy have a fairly large offset, best guessing here. Sounds like thery are around 56 - 58 mm offset wheels.
The only mod I can think of you needing is the BFH (Big F'ing Hammer) for the inner wheel well, but you will not know untill a tire is mounted.
I deally I like offsets less than 50 mm on a F-Car.

The offsets will work. I had very similar offset wheels on my Convertible for a while. Tjhe fronts will go on just fine, the rear once the tire is mounnted you may need to massage the inner wheel well. If you don't want to do the wheel well mod a 1/2" spacer and longer wheel studs will do the trick.
