Please do not over react. . . .

I ran 58 mm offset Z06 wheels on my SS. Both un lowered and lowered, the only issue was some very minor inner wheel well massaging was needed.

An adustable panhard helps too, (more on lowered cars)

BTW, all caps means you are yelling at us . . . .

Oh and just FYI the 58 mm offset 10.5" Z06 wheel is EXTREMELY popular on Camaros and about the most common offset available.

If you spent a lot of hours of research and hardwork, why don't you spend 5 minutes, bolt them up, and see how they fit?

I sure as hell would not put all FOUR! . . Geez, WTF for? Run 18"x 9.5" front witha 275/35ZR18 and run a 10.5" wide with a 295/35ZR18 rear . . .

You're insane to want 10.5" wheels up front . . absolutely no point, unless you are die hard auto crosser . . .
