10.5X18 ZO6 rims stick past fender?
I want to get some 10.5x18 rims for the back and the 9.5x18 in the front. The offset for the 10.5 is 58mm. I know some of you guys have them, do they stick out past the fender? Does anyone have any pics? I had this in the wheel and tire forum but it got no response. thanks

exact setup I am running! They tuck nicely in the fenders. No pics, as the crappy stock rims are on it for storage. But, they will work fine. I had to bash in the inner fenderwell on the rears, but did not have to bend the fender lip up!
hope it helps bro!

if the wheels your gonna get are the stock Z06 offsets, then you should have no problem with them. i just had to hammer the fenders in a little for peace of mind. i have pics in the link that i have in my sig. as well as a pic of my bro.'s Z28 with them as well.

They won't stick out but the inside of the tire will rub without spacers.
This is a factory 18x10.5 '02 Z06 wheel with a 1/4" spacer. The tire is a 305/30/18 Kumho V700. My car is on LG G2 springs.

The 58mm offset puts it really deep in the wheel well. That's why people have had to hammer the inner fenders, or add spacers. If you don't use a spacer, its going to put the tire 1/2" inside the fender when looking straight down from above the fender. Thats 1/2" deeper than these:

Well I ended up getting the 18X10.5s with the 58 offset and they dont rub at all. The only thing i did was cut about 1/4" off my bump stop so that i can let my suspension hang at full droop. in case anyone wondered.
