Source for 18x10.5, 18x11 wheels??
Other than some guys here selling used set of badass wheels. Any other, slightly lesser quality/price, options out there for proper fitting 18x10.5 front and 18x11 rear wheels?
Any vendor? Looking in the 800-2000 price range for a set.

@VibeMotorsports they have a huge selection of wheels and have been good to deal with over the phone/e mails. Ask for Jake, he is their Corvette guy.

I suppose you could get a custom set from Forgestars? 19"/20" widebody sizes runs you about $1800, so I suppose much smaller (and narrower) 18" wheels should run you a bit less. You can also use TSW Nurburgring or Interlago wheels, but it would be 10.5" square.

I got a custom set of F14's in 18x11 and 18x12 for my GS. I bought them packaged together with TPMS and tires mounted for $3k (including shipping) but I think wheels alone were like $1400-1500. You may need to check on the 18x10.5 since I really wanted 18x12.5 in the rear but they only offer 18x12 or 18x13.

I'd be running 305/35r18 rear and 295/30r18 front r888r likely. Other choice is 305/35r18 rear and 275/35 front nt01s.

My wet track wheels are TSW nurburings. The 18x10.5 +65 fits just fine in front (and clears J56 brakes)
I use hoosier H20's on them mostly now but I have in the past used NT01 305/35/18 and Pirelli 305/660/18

none at all, my car does have coil overs tho.
Originally i had 18x9 +53 front and 18x10.5 +65 in the rear, I had accidentally had tires mounted on the wrong wheels and I wasn't paying attention and put the rears on the front because I just looked at the tire size and just sent it. So I had the right size tires front to back but the wrong size wheels front to back lol
I didn't realize until I came back to the paddock. Tires were very stretched but whatever its how i learned i could use those 10.5s in the front.
I have sanded down my fenders a bit to keep from rubbing the sidewall to much under full compression but that's just for all my wheels/tires not these in particular.
