Will they fit?

Looking to C6 wheels on my third gen. Its a 1984 Z28. I have a 12 bolt strange rear end, with baer brakes. 12' in When I bought the rear end I told them Id be using a 17 in or taller wheel

will the 18's up front and 19's in the rear fit?? Also 10 inches wide in the rear and like 9 or so up front..could be wrong about the front wheels

here they are

To answer your question you will need adapters.

I all depends on the offset of the rear. If it is a thirdgen offset you will need 4 2in adapters.

The aftermarket seems to be selling 2 different versions of the C6 style wheels. One uses the OEM C6 wheel sizes and offsets - I added them to the wheel adapter FAQ at http://www.skulte.com/adapterfaq.html. The other uses C4/C5/4th gen offsets.

If you're going with the OEM C6 sizes, they are 18x8.5, 58mm fronts and 19x10, 79mm rears which require our 2" wheel adapters for the front, and 2.25" adapters for the rear. I hope this helps.

Well Strange Engeneering asked me what size wheel I wanted to run, I told them 17 or larger. So they sent me a 12 bolt according.

I was more worried about them just fitting in the wheel wells. When I buy my wheels, Ill aske them about the adapters ect..

anyone know about them just fitting in the wheel wells??
