Do 2003 Z06 rims 17 's up front (9.5inch) and 18's (10.5) out back fit on a Trans Am?

Stock z06 goodyear tires on the rims. 295/35/18's out back. 265/40/17s up front

Thanks in advance for your response.

IIRC Z06 offsets are higher than what the replicas are so you'd have to hit the fenderwell with a BFH. I had replica 17/18 replica Z06's on my car (56MM) and I had no problems.

I think stock Z06 offsets (alteast in the rear) are somewhere in the neighborhood of 64MM maybe.

Just so I can tell the young man with the trans am who was considering buying my stock Z06 rims..

They won't fit without reshaping the fenders...?

I would n't want him to bother if thats the case.

Thanks again for your response.

NOPE . . . at least not a direct bolt on, and you cannot/should not run the Vette tire sizes.

Chrome Y2Ks, 17s-front and 18s-back, on mine. I had to take out the bumpstops and hammer the fenderwall too. I'm happy with the results so far.
