S79s clear, others don’t. I can get you a set if you’re interested. Or the 18x6” Alumastars will clear and you can run the S71 17x11” out back, optional beadlock.

I went with the S76 20x7” deep dish

I've been warning folks on 18" Welds for a while now (5th Gen). The diameter of the barrel is like a 17 since the step up is all the way to the outside instead of the middle.

I had 18" X 8" that sort of fit but would run on certain turns.

Weld even uses my car in their advertisement even after I told them they didn't fit.

Said they would get the Engineering drawings and get back with me but of course that never happened even after a reminder. I won't purchase from them again.

Chevrolet Performance and Weld came out with their 18x6” front runners they clear our stock brakes. https://www.weldwheels.com/product/c...e-frontrunner/

@ mlee - What combination of wheel tire are you using ... ? Just curious.

They are specifically designed to fit with the big brake kits from the ZL1 and Z06 with no spacers.
