Default Would these fit ? Or too wide ?

These are CCW's
• Black powder coated centers
• 17x10.5 in fronts 51mm offset/7.75in backspace
• 17x11.5 in rears 57mm offset/8.5in backspace
• All ARP hardware upgrade
• used as track wheels on C5 Corvette Z06 with 275/40 tires in front and 315/35 tires in rear
• very good condition; no road rash or dents
• $650 per wheel if bought new- will sell all four(4) $1500 obo
A roll of the fenders is for sure needed ! They have a high offset so what do you guys think ?

These will not bolt on to your car without functional over fenders/wide body for the rear in the +40mm range, which means cutting your quarters and you will need wider front fenders, at least 25mm. Ive maxed out what the stock body will take minus pulling the rear fenders, which wont yield you enough anyway.

The bolt pattern on the Z06 might be 5x120 while ours is 5x114.3 so right off the bat they can't be mounted. The specs of the rims themselves should work with pulled fenders but there's not a whole lot of tire selection for the rears. They are close to what a lot of guys run on 18"s.

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/996...m20s-18x10115/

Specs:
Front 18x10 +51 with 245/35
Rear 18x11.5 +57 with 285/30

*Off topic question*
IF the wheels of the Vette could be mounted on our cars I wonder if this would work:
Front 17x10.5 +51 with 255/40 overall diameter = 25.03" with wider front fenders
Rear 17x11.5 +57 with 295/35 overall diameter = 25.13" with pulled rears

Tire Rack doesn't carry a 285/35/17 but they do have Kumho Ecsta XS in 295/35/17. I also wonder if the fronts will hit suspension components because it is ~6mm wider on each side of the wheel.

Too aggressive an offset. With this 11.5/295 combo, every single mm counts. I'm running it at a +63 with -3 camber and I am literally grazing the tire as it compresses. Now if you can effectively pull the fender the additional 6mm enough to clear under full compression it would technically be feasible. You cant run anymore camber though or you will have inner clearance issues. I had to hammer the inner fender and shock tower a few mm to clear the rim past this and the top of the tire at full compression. No rubbing now, but its super tight. The entire fender well from outside to inside with cut/rolled fenders is only 12.5". You have to add the camber sweep path of the wheel with suspension movement as well so its a tricky fitment. Offset and camber has to be perfect. Plus I just like being the only guy I know of thats been able to pull it off successfully Its a killer f@#king tire on this car!

Ah goodluck, you'll need some stretch and camber.

Here's a buddies' '07 with the same wheels, size and offset.



I believe he's running 245 on the 10.5 and 285 on the 11.5 both stretched. Looks good but its a lot of work to make it work, although it can be done on the stock body S.

I'd be happy with 9.5 +55(265/35) front and 10.5 +65(285/30) rear

18 x 9.5 + 25 or +30 265/35 the tyre is achually 270mm wide.
18 x 10 +30 or 35 285/30 the tyre is achually 291mm wide.
