Before you order wheels check to see what width wheel you will need. I don't think that a 10 rim will work with 315 or 325 tight squeeze. Below are recommended sizes
315/30ZR18 10.5-11.5" ,335/30ZR18 11.5-12.5" ( the 325's would be around an 11" rim)

Corvette Garage (another forum vendor) have the 18x10.5 rear wheels. I got mine several years ago with a special they ran on Drag Radials.
