19x10s

The only thing you have to worry about with 'verts that you don't with coupes is tire height since the top of the inner fenderwells are cut down to fit the top. Even still, I have a 27" tall tire and it fits. Shines up the metal a bit but it fits.

Re: 10" wide wheels

Howdy,

Don't mean to highjack and if I am, I apologize. I'm in Afghanistan and have limited time on the computer.

I have a chance to buy a set of '03 Z06 rims, front 17 x 9.5 and rear 18 x 10.5. I have a '91 RS coupe. What issues will I have in regards to back spacing and rubbing? What size spacers will I need to get for both the front and rear. The guy I'm getting them from is pretty much giving them away and I can't pass on this deal.

I believe you will need 2 inch spacers all around and I also have read some where that you need to bash in the inner walls in the rear but not so sure though.
