thanks everyone, I am really glad I went with the 18"x10.5" wheel outback the 295's look like they were made for these cars, they tuck really nice! Even with the 58mm backspacing, there really wasnt that much hammering to do. I still have some work to do on the bump stops and then got to spray some undercoating over the hammered areas.

Hi

Nice car.

Any problems running the staggered wheel sizes with your ABS? I was thinking on buying used Corvette wheels but was unsure about their compatability with my ABS breaks.
Thanks JA
