    Thanks for the input again fellas! @whiteheartbeat it was a choice based on practicality. I'd like to track the car eventually on road courses or auto x. Rotating is a must. I would have loved to get 18x11s in the rear with the super deep concave look but I'm not completely ruling out the idea for some spares!
    @Injuneer thank you for the heads up. They're 18x10 et39, offset was meant to clear a BBK rep said it would clear most but id still have to contact the manufacturer prior to ordering. He said a C6 Z06 Kit would fit safely behind the wheels if that means anything. I figured lock to lock id probably rub the inner fender/lining. And rolled fenders in the rear just be cheap insurance? I don't think I'll have issues but it's been a busy week and I haven't had a chance to throw em on. One good thing happens then life gets in the way. As soon as they're on pics will be up!

    @Dan You're not lowered by 1.8". That's why you don't rub, but I might.

    @Formula218 I think he's lowered on 315s all around.

    I don't rub because I'm cool

    I'm lowered on Strano springs and ran 17x11s with 315/35/17s all around. No hammering or rolling fenders, a very slight slight rub on the front on the front drivers wheel well liner under full lock, other than that i never had problems with them. I think i remember someone saying that the camaro's fenders don't have as much room under them, but i could be wrong there.

    The build tolerances on the 4th Gens seems vary all over the place.

    I am not lowered (any more), and 17x11" 50mm offset, with a 315/35-15 BFG Drag Radial in the back required the BFH on the inner fenders, recentering with an adjustable PHB, cutting the protruding edge of the jounce bumper bracket, and rolling the fender lip (only hit on VERY hard shifts, on one side, when the body would torque to the side with the poly PHB bushings). Others, as you have indicated have no problems..... seems to be a 50/50 thing.

    In the front, running a 17x9.5" 49mm offset, with a 275/40-17 GY GS-C, and the front down 1.8" the outer edge of the tire would rub the plastic inner fender liner at full lock, and at part lock if I happened to hit a bump. Current setup in the front with a 17x9.5" 56mm offset, 275/40-17 BFG g-Force KDW, car maybe 1/2" below stock ride height there is no rubbing at all.

    In any case, great looking wheels! Get 'em on and post the pic's.

    Alright guys here's the big update! Finally got the wheels on and IMO the fit is great. No rubbing lock to lock and the rear and front sits flush with the fenders maybe a smidge wider. I definitely need to roll the rears big time. But I'm so happy with the look now. Here's some quick shit pics with my iPhone. Going for a shoot on Monday though. I'll post more then. Also ignore the rear, I had to temporarily mount them with stock lugs while I went to buy shank/shaft style lugs for the rear. Fronts fit fine and weren't an issue but the rear studs seemed shorter. I think I read 40mm front and 34mm rear? Anyway here she is!
