I would like some help

Well, I want to get some white zo6's for my white trans-am. I realize no one makes these. So painting them is the way to go for me. I have a chance to get 4 graphite z06's for 375, brand new never mounted, correct off sets for my car. The only catch is they are different sizes, 18x10.5 and 17x9.5 I read the DOES THIS FIT thread, and I see it says that the rear's will require rolling the fenders, I WILL NOT do that to my car. Is anyone here running this set up (18x10.5 17x9.5), and can you post pictures of it * Regardless of what rims they are *

Thanks to you guys that end up helping me!

What offset are the rears? Depending on offset and tire choice you may not have to roll them. Are you lowered?

Z06's rarely require wheel well rolling. The offsets of aftermarket 10.5" wheels are between 53 mm to 56 mm. So the only mod that may be needed is the inner wheel well massaging with a BFH. . . . Or a 1/4" spacer.

FYI, don't paint the rims, get the powdercoated white. They'll look better and last longer.

Poweder coating = too much money, and no one local to do it. Paint= easy ( for me ) and re-do able.

Spuds, I am a little disapointed. This could be one of your worst descions since tring to buy a fox-bod. Dont go with the Z06 wheel, they are starting to get played out, and by the time you do actually buy them, everyone will have them on there car. Go with either ZR1 or TT2! Trust me, I have never steared you wrong
