Need some help wheels

I recently purchased some 18x12 CCW classics from a member on here. They have 335 PS2 tires on them. He told me with a spacer they would fit on my car if I removed the brake duct. I drive a 2002 Z06. Now I have been told that these are not going to fit. I know for a fact my friend is running 18x12 zo6 replicas with a 335 on them and they fit fine with a spacer and the duct out.

Can anyone tell me for sure if the 18x12 classics are going to fit my car? I know they may stick out a little bit but I really dont mind. Also what kind of spacer should I run and how big should it be? I really am going to be pissed if I bought these being told they would fit and now they wont. Thanks for your help guys

18 x 12 with 335s are gonna rub. You can do spacers and they'll stick out if you really like that look. Really need to mini tub to make it right.

Put the wheel on. Use washers to get the desired spacing. Then measure the stack and you'll know the spacer size. If you use a space use hubcentric spacers
