Default 18x10.5 wheels on all four corners of a F-body

Sorry guys I tried a search and came up with no info... Has anyone tried or seen on the forums anyone running a 18 x 10.5 on all four corners of their f-bodys.

Also if you have any idea what tire sizes they were using that would be great ?

I believe the Dick Harrell cars ran a 17/18x10 up front and 17/18x11/12 out back. I'm sure it can be done. What size tires are you planning on running

it can most certainly be done. just make sure your offsets are right. seems like f-bodies can actually fit a larger tire up front.

They also have custom fenders for a reason

But yes 18x10.5 has been done before with proper offset.

What offset are you running with those wheels?

They are 4 stock Corvette rears wheels. The fronts needed a small spacer and the rears fit fine with the usual BFH mod.

If you interested I am selling them with the tires.

I think I might be interested. Can you PM me details on tires, ie sizes, miles, brand, and so on. Also, what size spacer are you running on the front? I already have a spacer on the front of my car. C5 brakes and TTIIs don't like each other.

Thanks
