Default 10.5

I'm gettin some chrome 18 inch z06s and can't decide if i should get 18x9.5 all the way around or get 10.5s in the back. If i got 10.5s would i need to beat anything w/ a hammer or get any spacers?

I have 18" x 9.5" all the way around, If I were to do it again, I would DEFINATELY go 10.5" in the rear.

From what I understand the very little work it takes (if any) to get them to work is well worth the effort if you want to run some fat rubber in the rear.

Is your car lowered? Do you have an adj. panhard bar? These would make a difference along with the offset of the wheel itself.

Go with the 10.5. The wider the contact patch, the better.
