Red face Will C6 z06 replicas fit?

I was looking at buying some c6 z06 replicas from here http://www.corvettegarage.com/produc...5-and-Z06.html

I was wondering if they would fit. They're 18x9.5 and 18x11, not 19 in the rear. I will be putting on the eibach prokit as well. I couldn't find the offset on the page so i emailed them. WOuld these fit on my car? I really don't want to roll the fender lip. Thanks.

I got a set for my 01 Z. They fit pretty good, they did require a little hammering on the inner fender wells on the rear. They look awesome though. BTW, I got them through this site...
http://www.cruisinchrome.com/corvettec814slick.html

saved me a little money plus they included shipping, chrome lugs, and centercaps. They were good to deal with and shipped them out very fast.

So, in doing the BFH mod , do you heat the metal or anything, or just hammer away like a mad man?

Real size is 19 something in the rear, not 18x11.

I heard you could damage the rear seat mounts when hammering the inner well. Keeping the seat upright should eliminate that possibilty.
