Pics Please : Anybody with C5Z Repro 18x12's Rears & 18x10.5 Fronts?
I have the wheels already & plan on mounting Toyo R888's 335/30/18 rears and 295/30/18 fronts on them. I am planning for this to be my track setup for my 02 C5Z "roadcourse car". If anybody has pics of a similar setup or concerns of why this may not be a good fitment please let me know. Thanks in Advance

I believe RC45 is running repro 18"x12" rears and Alcoa 18"x10.5" fronts. He has the L5 rear flares though. I have tracked my car with Alcoa 18"x10.5" wheels on all four corners so I can at least attest to the front fitment.

I dug around through my archives and found some repro 18"x12" (335/30/18) fitment related pictures.

Fender liner clearance looks good:

I'm not really concerned about protruding past the fender as this is primarily for track days

Some people think it looks trashy to come out of the fenderwell (definitely would on my third gen 
) but i think it looks sick with those big meats on the back there. I didn't think they tuck that well.

I do now on my current setup with 18x11's in front, but when I had the 10.5's I was running 265's in the pictures. Honestly I thought it looked like garbage because the tire looked "stretched" and not wide enough for the rim.
