      71 Monte and Z06 wheels

      I have bought a pair of the 19X12 chrome spider Z06 wheels for the back of the monte...nowI'm just trying to choose what to run for the fronts.
      My choices are 18X8.5, 18X9.5 or 19X10

      I was thinkiong about the 19X10 just for the visual effect that the car is tucking more rim, but I'm not sure if there will be a fitment issue.
      has anybody put a 10 inch rim on the front of an A-body (I know I'll need adapters to space it out properly, more worried about hitting things with the wheel/tire)
      the 10 inch wide rims have 79mm of offset.
      I'd ask what tire to run in the front along with the 345/30/19 on the back, but rim size will somewhat dictate that I suppose.

      Thanks

      I don't think it would be a problem with the 10" wide rim if they were originally made with backspacing for the Monte, thats the part that may give you an issue. I would find out want the backspacing is on each of the given sizes and edit the post. Someone maybe able to help then.
      Big dreams, small pockets....

      they are not spaced for the Monte, so I know I'll need adapters to make them fit. I'm just curious if 10 inches is too wide.
      I'm planning on rolling fenders and tubular uca and lca if it helps with clearance.

      edited op with offset info.
      Thanks csouth.
