they are 58mm offset and a 1/4 spacer is possible.. I originally used those even though i didnt have to just to line the tire up with the top of the fender.. i thought it looked a little better less tucked in.
and i ran 295s, 305's, and 315's on those wheels.. looked great with all.. I liked the 305/35 look the best and that was with nitto dr's.. im sure the new MTs would look even better.

So let me get this straight...
With the C5 Z06 rims no spacers are needed on a stock F-body? About to pick up some for the wife and the last thing I want to hear from her is "why did you get these rims!? They don't even fit!"
What about changes down the road? Would anything cause any problems. Read through your stickies a bit Xsta and honestly it is all greek to me. Not saying it is bad or anything, I just can't understand it at all! First set of aftermarket tires I will have ever purchased for any of my cars.
Edit - Forgot to add... talking 18's in the rear with a 10.5 width on it, more specifically a set from TomZwheels.

I have 18x10.5" C6s. rears are +58mm offset. You will not NEED a spacer as Xsta stated before, but if youre lowered at all, and plan on taking some hard turns, you will. I am lowered with a pro-kit and installed a 5/16" spacer and longer studs, and needed to do some BFH mod. A 5/16" spacer puts the offset at about +50mm. Which, with a 295 tire, fits just perfect.

i ran no spacer but i removed my bump stop and BFH mod not biggy. But if i could of found a 1/4 spacer local i would of got it Still may do it to set the wheels out a little wider.
