Default help me with ordering wheels

i am going to buy a set of Z06 wheels, 17x9 up front and 18x10.5 in the rear, 54mm offset. I realize that i will probably need to roll the fender, and BFH. I want to run a drag radial in the rear, most likely nitto.

my question is, how exactly (where) do you hammer the fender walls? I already have the fender roller, so thats not an issue. Is there anything else i must do?

And what size tires should i get for the rear (nitto dr's). I want 315's if possible And what brand and size for the front do you recomend? Also where is the best place to order them from?

sorry for all the questions, but thanks for the help

Do yourself a favor, get 18" x 9.5" front and 18" x 10.5" back. 17/18" combo on a F-Car doesn't look right . .

No fender rolling needed, just some inner wheel well mods.

Mount the wheels in back drive around slowly, see the rub marks and beat them in . . .

ok, that sounds good,

now for the tires, what sizes/ brands do you recommend for the front? rear? and where is the best place to get them?

thanks
