I have a 2011 Camaro SS & I'm looking to get 2 rear rims for drag racing, I want to get 18"inch Chrome Corvette grand sport Rims from factory Reproduction SKU# 1989540341....- 18 x 9.5 5x4.75 +40 Offset... I called & talked to a Guy at factory Reproduction & He doesn't think they will fit But he's not sure.. he told me to call back in a while when this other guy came into work that knows more about fitment... Can anyone on here verify that these rims will fit on the Rear of My 2011 Camaro SS with No fitment issues???? I think they will fit I just wanted to make sure before I purchase them

Yes, they will fit on the rear without any modification.....other than needing to secure the emergency brake cable out of the way.

Try calling these guys....I talked to them about a week ago, and supposedly they had OEM Grand Sport Wheels on sale....cheap!!! I think they were like $200 each maybe??? Not sure what finish.

Thank you Blazzin1 I just got off the phone with Factory Reproduction & Talked to Jason & he told me they would fit but I should call House of wheels like you suggested that they would give me a better price which kinda baffled me they told me to buy from another company but anyways I'll try there next Thank you :-)

Another thing I wanted to ask if the Mickey Thompson ET street radial drag tire size P305/45R18 (29" x 11.5" -18") would fit this Corvette Grand sport wheel 18" x 9.5" 5x4.75 with the +40mm Offset???

Yes, it will fit. 9.5" is the minimum wheel width recommended for that tire by Mickey Thompson....so it is definitely "do-able"!!! Although....those tires are kind of hard to find right now...most places are out of stock at the moment.

Thank you again Blazzin1 for helping me. I ordered the Grandsport Rims But Now I'm having a hard time finding the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Drag tires I tried Jegs But there backordered for like atleast 90 days or More... Where else do you think I should look for these Tires? I'm trying to get them before The Middle of October cause I Have Modern Muscle 3 shootout to go to...
