Will these fit the front? (with no roller skates)

I am also lowered and have the 17" Weld wheels on mine. The modification is very simple, just heat the corner and move it back on the arm about 3/4 of an inch, touch up the paint and no one can even spot the mod! With the 17" you can run a full bias slick, then 1.5 second 60' times are easy (if you have the power to get there).

Would love to see some pics of your modification!!! Sounds pretty easy, but need to see exactly what you're talking about. I would love to run 17's but because of all the negative posts around lately, I'm "skiddish" to pull the trigger.

I bought some factory c6 z06 wheels from a place on amazon. 18x9.5" with 40 mm offset. They work great so far and the price was better than anything else I have seen, even the replicas. Makes me wonder if they are factory rejects or something because they are so cheap. Pictures don't show the center cap but it did come with them.

mlee, followed the link and didn't see the 18x10 wheels? there were 10.5s but not 10s. Can you repost the size and offset you used; the wheels look great.

Not sure why they don't fix their site but you will have to call them. They have never listed the Camaro ones, but they do sell them. Sometimes they are out of stock too. I put mine on for the first time last weekend and they fit perfectly... They also have two styles... one w/ rivets around the edge and one w/o.

For now I just leave my 22's on the front... they are the same height as the DR's. Getting tired of swapping wheels all the time... 2 is enough..
