Default 18x10.5 wheels on 84?????

I am building my 84 track car, and after looking, and reading almost everything I can find, it looks like the used race tire market may be starting to dry up for 17s. I am trying to find out if anyone has run the c5z 18x10.5s at all four corners on a 84-86? I am wanting to be able to run a square set up, if possible. And if so, what size tire were you able to run.

I'm not sure if the offsets are the same, but I ran them on my '95 just fine. They stuck out a little, but I never had any issues with the tires hitting the fenders.

the 84 has a different offset, and I would have to run a spacer with them. just curious to see if anyone out there has autocrossed with this setup....thanks

That's exactly what I did with it. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures off my hard drive at home.
