Traction...and the C5 I'm trying to find some budget wheels that can fit a 335 size tire on the rear of the 2000 FRC.
I'm trying to do some research and can't find much as far as getting anything wider than a 10.5 inch wide wheel. I do not want CCW's since they are quite expensive (although I'm sure they are worth it).
I read something about the House of Wheels z06 replicas/clones that offer an 18x12 wheel. I couldn't find the wheel on their website, but found 10.5 inch wide wheels. Where can I find budget wheels that can safely support 335 tires at high speeds? What modifications will I have to do to the body of the car, suspension, or other to ensure my safety while running this size wheel (18") and tire? Bearings or offset precautions?
Your knowledge is appreciated,

I found the wheels at East Coast Corvette.
But if I get the 18x12 in the rear, what modifications must I do to the suspension or otherwise to the car to ensure the safety and longevity of the car?
