Default 18x10.5 upfront??

well today coming home from work some douche bag came into my lane causing me to run off the road and nail a nasty pot hole..
i had 18/17 zo6 setup and wanted to move my 18's upfront and get 18x11's for the back.. will i have rubbing issues on the front??

if so ill have to buy smaller 18's for upfront maybe 18x9

any input would be great

you'll need to do 18x9.5 upfront to insure no problems, 10.5's and 11's have been known to be run upfront but only in road race applications

thanks, thats what i figured, but all the 18x9.5's that ive seen are riveted and my rears are not so
1. it would look horrible since they dont match
2. i dont like the riveted look

ill call up tomzwheels tomorrow and see what they can do for me (fingers crossed)

LMP sells 18x9.5" Z06s w/ 53 mm offset. That's what I'm running on now. Too bad they're on 3-4 weeks back order.

You can get non-rivit 18" x 9.5" Z06 wheels. Look around.
