Default 18" ZO6 wheels in front?

Can the OE 18X10.5 C5 ZO6 rears be used in front also, running 295/35 all around? I think there is only 4mm difference in offset, so I wouldn't think that would be a problem.

The picture in my sig is with OEM rear Z06 wheels on all 4 corners. I was running 305/30/18's an all 4. No clearance issues at speed, just lock to lock if you have DRM brake ducts.

M14,

I too ran that configuration on my '03Z. In fact, I've got a set in my garage w/ Hoosier A3S04's 305/30/18 (1/3 used) if your looking for them.

That's great to hear. Now, does anyone have the GM part number for the standard, brushed finish 18x10.5 rear wheel?
