Default question on rims and extra stuff

i got my christmas shopping and everything done for family, got a little left over, so wanna splurge on my car, found a great deal on ebay for some 18 inch adr rims with tires mounted.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ksid=p3907.m29
my question is will these fit on my 2000 camaro z28? or are they too big? i have the stock 16's on it now,and if i purchase i just want a nice smooth switch. which brings me to my next question also, when switching to bigger rims do i have to change anything like the rotors and stuff? or can i just switch the rims and be done with it? check out the page, he list the specs for the rims and tires. so some replies would be appreciated,and i need to know if i do need to do anything extra besides switching out the rims and if they will fit. -thanks

Why are you getting 225 tires? Those are thinner than what you get stock. Go for 275 tiresand 9.5' rims.

h8tr, actually contribute to the thread, everyone has their own opinion...

Unfortunately for you, those wheels are made for a BMW 3 series, and aleksandr brings up a good point about the size.

You need to find a wheel that has the correct lug pattern, you're best choices are going to be OEM Chevy wheels, like something that is modeled after an OEM vette wheel or something to that effect will work, or you can simply use the wheel for reference for size(offset, backspace etc.) if you don't like any of the wheels offered that are specifically for your car.
