Default Wheels track day cross

Hello friends. I need 4 wheels rim 18 to use slick tires on track day. 18x9.5 or 18x10.I found the sale wheels 18x9.5 ET offset 36, do you guys think fit my base C6 Corvette? Do you have any wheels for this use?

I run four C5 Z06 rear wheels on my C6. They are 18x10.5 +58 offset.

Your 9.5" wide +36 offset wheel will stick out 9mm more than the C5Z wheel. That's too much for my liking and you will probably hit the fenders.

You do not have probably hit with your 10.5 ET 58?
Are you very close?

With 305s on the front, I hit the inner fenders at full lock. There's still plenty of room on the outside.
