Exclamation 18" torque thrust 2?

i was wondering if i can get some 18" torque thrust 2? 17s are a bit to small for my taste but i think 18s are perfect, but dont know if theyll fit my 98 z28, i realy want the tt2 but i wont get them if i cant get 18s to fit.

Tire Rack.
lookie lookie
Tire rack is amazing to deal with my family and I have spend over 5K with them great deals super fast shipping I couldn't have been happier.

I just got my new rims and tires from them yet again a happy customer.

edit: they don't have the 18s listed right now.. quite odd.

I've seen 18x10.5 ran in the front before. However the person who did this had to do quite a bit of work and it still rubbed a little bit. Basically you'd have to re-mold your inner fender to make the extra clearance from when the wheel turns. I recommend just going with 18x8 or 18x9 if you can get them.

I was told by a sponsor that 18x8 and 18x10 are the biggest TT2's you can get, although I am waiting to hear back from him if they can make an 18x9.5. I mean if they can make a 10" wide wheel they should be able to make a 9.5" in the same diameter...

Yeah maybe 18x10 on all four would be a better idea...I just didn't want to go bigger on the front than stock because I didn't want to make the tracking worse...
