18x10.5 with 7.5 backspacing

Just as the topic says, will they fit on a f-body?

Thanks

You could compare it to a 17x11 GS offet wheel (7.93" backspace, 4.00" frontspace).... you will have about 0.40" less backspace, so there shouldn't be any interferences on the inside fender liner, and you will have about 0.10" less "frontspace", so the wheel is going to be placed pretty much where the 11" wide GS offset wheel sits. I'm figuring the rims you're looking at have a 46mm offset, and that's just about right. As long as you like having the rims/tires just under the fender outline when you look straight down from on top of the fender.

Out of curiousity what wheels are you looking at? I wanna put 18x10.5s on the rear of my Z, but the stock Z06 ones wont fit without some serious bashing.

I was looking at some HRE that were meant to go on a vette as well. They had a good price on ebay for a used pair but I guess someone bought them before the action ended.
