Default QUICK question about C6 replicas

Hey guys-

I'm sure someone has already asked this, but I'm new to LS1tech and forums in general so I thought I would just post something... I am looking at four 18"X9.5" chrome C6 replica wheels with a 57 mm offset on eBay to replace the stock 16 inchers my '98 Z28. Here is my question: Will some 285 30ZR 18's fit all the way around? I'm looking at the BFG G-Force TA's... Thanks for the help!

275/35ZR18 would be better.

I was looking at these eBay replica wheels also and wondering if they're quality is as good as oem or not. Any one had any bad experience with replica wheels or are they ok?

Yes the ebays are good. I bought a 18/19 combo and really like them; however, I'm wanting to get rid of the like new 19X10's to put some 18s out back with drag radials.

I bought the 18x9.5 rears with 285 35 18s on the rear but I used 17s on the front. I was told the 18s do fit on all 4 corners. The 285 35s are the same diameter as the stock 16" wheel and tire set up. Hop on ebay or around this forum and find tomz wheelz. That where I picked up mine
