18X9.5 fronts are not the stock GM wheels. OEM fronts are only 18X8.5 and go directly on; I just installed some this weekend. The OEM rears will go on with a 1.25 inch thick bolt-on wheel adapter or a custom machined spacer. I'm at stock ride height, so I can't say what may be required on the rear if you lower significantly and the suspension geometry changes, but from what I could see, 3/4 to an inch lower shouldn't change things too much. I will post pics when I can get them developed.
However there are reproductions out there that would allow you to bolt right up and even go wider in the front. Check with one of our sponsors. I went with OEM because I wanted the Competition Grey color.

You are right the fronts fit fine but the rear is a little tough. first i tried a 1.25 inch adapter but it was too much for my car since it is lowered 2 inches. i tried alot of things and i came up with 3/8 inch spacer with longer studs. this works fine but i really wasnt happy so i called the company in georgia (bones enterprises) and they sent me a new set of rears with the correct offset for f bodies. I just have to get them mounted and send the old ones back.and they paid for all shipping and mounting.
