18x10 and 18x8
Ok I thought I had it figured out then I started googling and now I am confused again. I'm looking at some wheels to use on a stock 3rd gen rear end and stock brakes. Hoping to run a 285 or 295 rear and 235 or 245 front.
18x10 rear with 5.5" backspace and 0 offset OR 18x10 rear with 6" backspacing and +12 offset
18x8 front with 4.5" backspace and 0 offset
Hub bore 72.56mm
Could I use either of these rears and this front on a 1992 Z28? Not lowered but might go 1"

Re: 18x10 and 18x8
Well, 18x10 +12 offset wheel fits,but it depends how wide and what brand tire you use.I have 18x10 +15 offset wheel at rear,and 285/35R18 Goodyear fits nice,but 295/35R18 Bridgestone ->no hope...
Btw,295/35R18 Vredestein fits nice

18x10. +6 offset , 5.74 backspacing. 295/35 tires. All the way around. Took a little trimming on back of front wheel opening and some massaging of rear front inners. No spacers. They will still lightly rub on the inside of the front. Once I do brake upgrades it should fix that.

Re: 18x10 and 18x8
18x10's out back. Had them a long long time now, if memory serves 6.5 BS. No spacer on the rears, and you can barely fit a finger between the rim/tire and the wheel well on the back side. I wanted as much lip as i could get on the rim. Fronts are 18x8, baer rebuilt spindles with a 1/4 in spacer to clear the caliper. Minor rub on full lock. Hope this helps if you're still looking for advice

18"x8" Boze Forged Wheels up front with Falken Azenis RT660 255/40/18
18"x10" Boze Forged Wheels out back with Falken Azenis RT660 285/40/18

Looks killer, what is the backspacing. Had Boze wheels on another car a few years ago and loved them!

Re: 18x10 and 18x8
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
for backspace, I went with 5" backspacing up front on the 8" wheel. On the rear it is a 5 7/8" backspace on the 10" wide wheel. Therefore I didn't need any spacers at all.
- sidenote. I do have to use spacers up front when I put on my 4.5" wide drag wheels ("skinnys") but thats simply to clear the brake caliper.

Re: 18x10 and 18x8
yup. Even though it is a Moser 12 bolt aftermarket rear axle, I had it built to be the stock width.
(I had the wheels made by Boze back when I had the 10 bolt rear in it in 2015, the Moser rear came in 2017 so thats why I had it built at stock width)

Re: 18x10 and 18x8
Thanks!
those are MOOG Iroc springs. I put them on back in 2008 . I cut about 1.25 coils off the rears over several years and I am happy with them now. My front end is low because I have 2" lowering spindles
