Update: Boze Wheels are on!
Today my new HID Headlights came in, I will provide a detailed installation if some of you guy's ever decide to go with HID's in the future...that will commence on monday.
I also went to the Tire Shop and picked up my Boze Rims where they had the Toyo T1-R's mounted, balanced ect! The tire sizes are 245/35/18 front & 285/35/18 rear...man are they wide compared to my old one's which were 225/45/17 front & 245/45/17 rear...you can see the difference in one of the pics. I also repainted the brake brackets, center part of the rotors (black) and the calipers (red)...I will upgrade to the Z-06 Calipers probably in the fall or next winter along with an air ride kit & tubular k-member/a-arms!
Here is what has to be done for the correct fitment of a 10" rim with a 6.25 backspacing on a 3rd gen Camaro...first you have to remove the bump stoppers, then you have to cut the inside of the fender which is shown to prevent the tire/rim from rubbing and then you have to massage/hammer the part where the rear seatbelts are held in place (down low where you see the red battery cable running)...mind you I removed mine outta there a while back because no one sits in the back anymore! and there you have it...not that much in modding for the big rims to fit nicely tucked in the fender well, I will post up more pics when the car is on the ground next week!

I'm running 17x10 with 6.25 backspacing and I haven't removed my bumpstops. There isn't much clearance though. Were yours hitting or did you do it just to make sure?

Re: Update: Boze Wheels are on!
I just got to work from the shop & the car was virtually done...the Headlights were all installed also...I'm like "WOW" when I walked in, I wasn't expecting it to be finished.
The pictures that I have already posted were basically the fitment pics...now everything is back in place and the car was down...it really looks slick, I will put up the pics of it tonight when I get home after work!

It's because of the offset on mine it was rubbing, you couldn't even get your finger in between the bump stop and tire & I also had to massage the lower inner fender by the LCA's.

I still don't understand why the bumpstop and mounting plate needed to be cut off. When that car is on the ground (especially lowered) that area that was removed would be closer to the axle tube where there is less chance of interferance. I had to "massage" my inner fender area near the LCA to ensure clearance on cornering with my set up.
