Default will these rims fit my car?

18" Fits Camaro C6 Z06 Replica Wheels - Black -17x9.5 -18x10.5-SET


I was thinking of getting some black rims and tires first instead of performance parts. I know the 9.5 inch front rims wil fit. but i want some nice 295 or 305 rims in the back. will the 10.5 fit without spacers, or will i need some? im lost when it comes to tires and brakes, so any help is appreciated.

Trying to copy big daddy Buffalo eh? You should be able to fit 285 on there, but I wouldn't go no bigger. The 10.5 inch wheels should fit without spacers because the wheels are replicas. Don't skimp on the tires. You can buy some from Ebay pretty cheap.

Get Nitto NT555R's off of Ebay. I've got them on my car and I couldn't be happier. Here are two tires for $290.

Yeah, they're pretty good although I haven't taken them to the track and my last set of tires were the awful Hankook Ventus. I've read mostly good reviews about the NT555 tire.

lol...cheap tires are not good and good tires are not cheap. You get what you pay for. Nitto's aren't bad, but my Yoko's are crazy better than my nitto's ever were. I had a set of Kuhmo's...those were awful.

Make sure you check the ratings...soft tires handle better but wear faster and cost more. If you want max life and value, you'll have to trade-off performance.

18" 285 width tires are not cheap...thats a lot of tire. The bigger the tire, the more $.

You shouldn't have any problems with clearance on those wheels...are you lowered?

I have 295/30/19's and they don't even make cheap tires...the cheapest is like $280 a tire, I paid about $420 a piece for my rears.

Well I searched c6 rims and this thread came up so I'm certainly not gonna start a new thread so...

rims 18 inch

Will these 18's fit a 1995 Z28(not hit the fender wells when turning)? Will I need spacers with the offset? Price good? Tire size recommendations? Is this a lot of questions?
