Looks good. Surprised those 335's fit in the back.

Could you add info regarding the offset of the wheels. A lot of people want to see how various width/offset combos fit in the wheel wells.

Sure no problem:

F 18x8.5 C6 Z06 46mm w/ 275/35's
R 18x10.5 C6 Z06 56mm w/ 335/30's

F Nitto NT555R
R Nitto NT 555R Drag Radial

All I did was beat the inner finder-well in ALOT and that was it. No spacer's and no rolling of the finders. I do have the new adj. roto joint UMI suspension pieces for the PHB and tubular LCA's. That's all I can think of that might have also made my setup a little easier. Drives great and dead hooks now!

Anything else just ask!

Nitto recommends at least an 11.5" wide wheel for that drag radial, but it appears that the 335/30-18 is narrower than rated size, just like the 315/35-17 is so small it fits on a 9.5" wide wheel, even though Nitto recommends a 10.5" wide wheel.

A good friend of mine here in Waco custom painted (smoked) and cleared the tails and all corners of the car and also did my headlights. http://www.jrscustoms.com/
Let me know if you want something done and I'll get him to give you a good deal on what ever you decide to do!

I love these rims... I've been looking to buy them after I saw your pics and I have found some people on craigslist selling them but usually its in a set of 19s for back and 18 for front, would those fit my 02 z28 or do I need 18s all around like you?

Whether they will fit depends on the width, the offset, and the outside tire diameter. Does not depend on the wheel diameter.

It is possible to match the 18/18" diameter wheel tire sizes shown above with 18/19" wheel tire sizes. Hence, the main concern is the actual width and offset of the 18/19" wheels. If they match the width and offsets quoted for the set above, and you use tires with the same outside diameters as those shown above, they will fit exactly like the wheels in the photos.

Note however that your rear brakes are going to look "smaller" through a 19" wheel.
