Curious if 18 x 10 wheels, with a 17mm offset, would fit our cars, and if not, could it be achieved with a moderate spacer? I'm pretty sure that 18x10et17 would be ok in the back, more curious about the fronts and what would be required. If the answer is "10 inch wheels would look retarded in the front", lemme have it, because I wouldn't want them sticking wayyy out.

Get the Zeemax widebody kit and you will be fine

You can put a 11" wheel under the quaters without a body kit.

So 10", with that offset should fit, maybe with thin spacers?
ANyone have pictures of 9.5 or 10's in front?

Think the car pushes/understeers now? You put something that wide up front without a custom swaybar setup to accomodate more steering is asking for trouble, IMO!

Thanks for the pics, Keith...I've had 9.5's on the front of a Corvette before and it was pretty interesting, 8eights....follows every little rut in the pavement, etc.
