I know i know.. but will they fit?

Im really wanting to get some new rims on my camaro. Im particular to z06 rims, especially the c5 z06 black motorsports. Im wondering what size i can go with. I am running a fourth gen rear right now and from what i read i dont need spacers. And i wanted to put some 18x10.5s out back.
Then throw some 17x8.5 or 18x9.5s(if i can) in the front.
Anyone have any idea if they will rub? I realize i will need spacers in the front but will i in the back to?
And will they rub hitting bumps or turning sharp?
Any input is apprecaited!

Man I wish you were closer... I need to get rid of these 2 rear wheels I just put on Craigslist.


I ran a 2" spacer on the front, and 1.75" rear when running 17x9.5 Grandsport replicas YEARS ago. I'm sure someone running the 18x10.5 & 18x9.5 combo will chime in. Just saw that you want wheels I happen to have 2 of for sale locally lol

Its going to be a tight fit, but you should be okay. I'm running 18x10.5 with a 4th gen rear and it clears (barely, I'm running 295/35/18). You might need to bust out the hammer, but I'm pretty sure you will be okay.

They are 18x10.5 I will send you a PM about "working out something"

I'm in Colorado, and wouldn't mind having some more nice 3rd gens around here too!
