Corvette rims and what size tires
well im looking at some rims on ebay that are
FRONT WHEEL SIZE 17 X 9 1/2" 56mm OFFSET
REAR WHEEL SIZE 17 X 11" 50mm OFFSET
first off what does the 56 mm offset mean and the 50mm
also, what size tires fit on these?
would it be 275/35R17 and 315/35R17 respectively?
and when i have to beat in the fender what exactly does that intail?

Re: Corvette rims and what size tires
and also i think the other option is to get 17" x9.5 and 18"x10.5 which would be better the 17" on both rear and front or 18 and 17?
yea here
they are the Z06 rims
REAR WHEEL SIZE ( 18 X 10 1/2" )
FRONT WHEEL SIZE ( 17 X 9 1/2" )
OFFSET 56mm
which would be better for over all performance?

If you did not know, I am a previous F-body owner. I joined when I had my Trans Am, but sold it due to electrical/opti problems. I replaced it with a Ford. I am sorry that I didn't get another F-body just to make YOU happy.

smileys and the sarcasm but yet never offered the original poster with any information about his wheels dillema but basically told him to take his post somewhere else with a I don't unserstand why people bother to reply to a post only to tell them to take it elsewhere with a
smiley. Maybe he didn't realize there was a wheel and tire forum?!. You didn't have to try and make him feel stupid about it .....and besides, this is after all a "general" F-body tech and he could get more replies on this forum.
I wish more people would stop trying to be smart @sses and try to offer some real help for once.

I just looked at his name, and it stated "newbie", yet he has more than 1000 posts. I figured that someone with that many posts might know about the other forum.
