Default 18x10.5 z06...

I'm planning on buying me some 18x10.5 chrome Z06's. Anyone know the offset to make the wheel flush with the rear fender and the proper tire size? i've already rolled the fender lip and did the BFH mod.

They don't make Z06's that are flush with the fender. I've heard some guys have gotten 53MM and they are close, but they are very hard to find. I have 56MM of my TA and they look fine. Proper size is 295/35/18. I can post pics of mine when I get them back from the powdercoater.

Yeah I'm kinda going through a friggin' saga with them right now. To make a long story short I bought them polished, but they didn't have a clearcoat. So I had a local company clearcoat them, but for some reason the coat started cracking from the inside out, so they had to take the wheels all the way down to the metal and they're doing them in some color called "spraylot chrome"

I'll be the only one with z06's this color guaranteed. haha.
