Are you sure they will fit? 9 and a halfs are pushing it, and I think that hey are over 10 inches.

I plan on getting Chrome Z06 rims... 18 x 10.5 in the back, and 17 x 9 up front...

ive seen bigger in front and back, so with some skill, shouldnt be a prob fitting them on their, i think you'll need adapters from skulte though for C5 rims

i think it would look really different than in the pics.. and for *** sakes.. if you get the 18's drop it at least an inch, 17's at least a half inch... would look soooooooooooo much better

just my opinion

Should be no problem getting them under the body but the backspacing will probably be all wrong.The other thing is that your tiny brakes discs will look ridiculous behind those wheels.
Check out my 10x18" and 9"x18"s on my Transam
