Default C5 with 18x10.5 Z06 wheels on all 4's

I have searched and come up with a lot on the subject but not too many pictures.

Looking for those that run OEM rear 18x10.5 C5Z06 wheels on all 4 corners of a C5. Interested in where they sit in relation to the fenders. My car sits pretty low so I am a little concerned up front. If you run this, could you post some pictures please? Thanks!

Also, the offset for the OEM 18x10.5's is 58mm, correct?

Here is mine at Oak Tree at VIR. 18s all around with 305s. Car is not lowered but has Pfadt shocks and Heavy Racing sways. I noticed a little rubbing on the inner rear fender liner but that is about it.

All I saw was from the left rear. The tire makes it look like it was severe, but I can't tell if that is the way the tire wears or it was really rubbing something hard. As for the front, there was some tire morkings on the bottom of the left front fender but not much. I did run off the track, and it wasn't smooth so it could have happened then. It didn't look like a constant thing. HTH.

Sorry for the hyjack but... how do you like the Pfadt Heavy weight bars? I am just getting my 04 Z06 ready for the track and am trying to decide between heavy rate and light rate bar.

I know...a little wide...working on it. I bought the picture, so if you want the full size one I can email it. I am running Phadt comp bars and coil-overs. Everything fits nice with 305's. 315's did rub a little before the coil overs.
