Question Corvette C5 wheels the fat spoked ones

I am looking for sizes that will fit under a Camaro on these rims without giving me fittment or rubbing headaches front are 17 x 8 1/2 the rear are 18 x 9 1/2

i have the 99 vette "mallets"
the tires i use are Kuhmo Ecsta MX
245/45/17 and 275/40/18

personally, if i could do it over, i would have bought four of the front wheels
its impossible to get Fbodies to look right with different sized rims like these
I think the closest way to get them to look good is by having the front lowered a good half inch more than the rear

and i just got my Pro-Kit in the mail, and im probably gonna cut it a bit to get the front down a lil bit more

one suggestion- buy two- .25" slip on spacers for the rear, so they bumpstop doesnt hit the wheel when you jack up the car
