You can definitely use the 17x9.5's all the way around.

I think the 10.5's are going to be too deep for the rears without shimming it outward, then if you do use them I think you will have tire rubbing or sticking out too far problems.

Yes. I posted here and in tech to get more replys, the person selling the wheels only wants 300.00 for the set. But I don't need a headache from the 18in if they have to be shimed and after looking at the cost. I well use the cash and get body kit instead thank you for your time.

PS. Cra list reno. Search for. Corvette wheels. last post was 6-13-13
