anyone out there running zo6 wheels 17/18 combo???

i am thinking of purchasing a set of 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 zo6 wheels.

my question is..........did u guys have any trouble bolting these up????? (other than the jounce bumper bracket that needs to be cut in the back)




the ones i am looking at have a 56mm offset for BOTH the front and rear wheels..................


HELP me please guys, i just want to make sure that these will fit without them rubbing (i autox this car, thus the reason for more meat)

thanks guys,

Scott

im pretty sure +54mm in the front and +58mm in the back, they are 17x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the back, and i have 275/40/17 in the front and 305/35/18 in the back there is no rub so far, except for one time i turned really hard to the right, and heard it rub, but i heard an adjustable panhard rod can fix it by centering both sides exactly to the middle

You've already got this on "Wheels and Tires"...... doesn't belong here on "LT1/LT4 Engine Tech".
