Default 18 x 10.5 zo6 replica wheels?

Is anybody running 18 x 10.5 54 mm offset zo6 replicas on a 01 f-body. I read the stick, helped a little, did research on other threads aswell. I need new tires desperatley and figure i might as well order new wheels. Will there be any issues as far as rubbing? thanks

Should be fine. 295/35ZR18 tire. I ran 58 mm offset, and had some very minor inner wheel well rubbing, the 54's are a better fit.

Ray, Where did you find 54mm offset Z06 replicas? They will not stick out at all.

Do the +54mm 18x10.5's fit better then the +56mm ones? My car will be dropped about 1 1/4"

Yes. The smaller the offset number the more the wheel moves outwards.

So, a 58 mm offset 10.5" the wheel is fairly "tucked" in, where as a 38 mm offset the wheel fills the wheel well.

I found +56mm offset 18x10.5's but haven't seen +54mm ones. I'm just wondering how much 2mm is going to make a difference? I want to run 18's all the way around, being 18x9.5's up front and the 10.5's in the back. I'm gonna drop it using Sam's springs which is about 1 1/4. I just want the wheel to look right sitting in there.

2 mm is 5/64" . . . not much. To pull a better stance throw in 1/4" spacers, and all will be better in the world.

I have 18x10.5 53mm offset rear wheels with 295/35/18 BFG KDW 2's and I am also lowered with the pro-kit and had to do nothing to get them to go on the car. They dont rub anywhere,didnt have to remove the bumpstops, they fit like a glove. I put 2,000 miles on the new wheels/tires this year and have had no problems

Sometimes it is stamped / cast onto the back side of the wheel, either on a spoke, on the wheel bead.
