Cool Dale Earnhardt Jr Killers

I really like the look of these rims and am interested in ordering them for my 95 Z28, stock ride height. Will they fit? These are supposed to be for our cars but the backspace doesn't seem right. I don't want ANY rubbing issues.
FRONT:
18x8.5
Offset: 35mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-475
Rec. Tire Size: 245/40-18
**Lightweight: 25.0lbs.**

REAR:
18x10
Offset: 41mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-475
Rec. Tire Size: 275/35-18
**Lightweight: 26.0lbs.**

Look at the 2nd page of the FAQ, for a subjective guide to offset vs. wheel width. How close you want the tire to be to the edge of the fender is sort of a personal preference, so you need to decide, using the rough guidelines in the FAQ. Those wheels will definitely put the outer edge of the tire very close to the outside edges of the fenders, or possibly even slightly outside the fender for the 10" wide wheels in the back.

Look at the post on page 2 of the FAQ directly under the offset vs. width post. It has a picture of a 10.5" wide wheel with a 56mm offet. Your 10" 41mm offset wheel will stick out about 1/3" more than those.

Thanks for the reply. I'll defiantly take a look. I think I'll have to look for some different rims then. I don't want ANY rubbing issues. I may just end up going with the ARE TT 2's 17".
