rim offset w/ 18" rims

hy, i have found a guy w/ some realy nice rims. I'm not telling you guys what they are off of, but i wanan know if they will fit a third gen's wheel wells w/ the right spacers.

There are 2 - 18" x 9" (+26mm, 6.11" backspace) front, and 2 - 18x10.5 (+27mm, 6.9" backspace) rear. They are 5-lug (5 on 4.5).





i have a 4th gen rear end in my iroc, so let me know. thanks.

I think that just ruined it for ya. Sorry. You need to convert from a 5x4.5 pattern to a 5x4.75 one and I don't think you will be able to without the wheels sticking out past the fender in the rear.

If you really wanted to run those (ford) wheels you could get your rear axles drilled also for a 4.5" bolt circle and move the studs, this would also require new rotors or drilling yours, or a 2 pc dual drilled rear rotor, then adapters up front to change the offset and bolt pattern.
