Default what do you think??

I was looking on ebay at some z06 wheels that I can get for pretty cheap. However, the offsets on the wheels are kinda whats worrying me. I've done some searches and read the stickys a few hundred times now. All Im looking for now are opinions on what you guys think. You guys are the experts here!

The wheels are 18" zo6 replicas. 18x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rears with a +57 offset for the 9.5s and a +58 offset for the 10.5s. I read all the stuff on the BFH mod and the fender rolling already. Would this be ok to work with for a 'budget' wheel setup? Opinions? Suggestions? Tire size recommendations? etc.

There is also a 9.5 for all 4 corners. Would this maybe be better?


Thanks!

You'll have to do the BFH mod in the rear (only a small section). Other then that you'll be fine.

will i have to run spacers for anythng? I read something about that and how having too much of a spacer causes extra stress on your suspension.. i didnt really like that too much so I was kinda concerned. Also, will these wheels stick out any from the fender in the front or rear? how would fitment look with this type of offset?

Thanks guys.
