Foose Lusso Tires and Rims
I have a chance to get a set of 18"x7.5" or 8" Foose Lusso rims for $1200, the tire im planning on is 245/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear.
Will I have any problem with these rims rubbing? I did not do any major changes to the suspension, however I did rebuild with new parts. Nothing to lower the car, also what about the spacing, I do not want to use spacer on my rims.

Got a call from the wheel shop and they said I will need spacer to use these wheels. What size spacers is used for the front and rear. I currently do not have the BS/offset.

Get the offset or backspacing; and maybe somebody can help.
Whether they rub or not, depends on whether you get the right spacers or not.

Here is some info I was able to find on the net for a 93-02 Camaro
18x8.5= -20 Offset
18x9.5= -38 Offset
hope this help in determining if I will need spacer, If so what size should I get?

Depends on the offset that the wheels have.
See above. There's no way to know what spacer you need, if you don't know the wheel dimensions.
Kind of like, you can't buy the right nut for a bolt, if you don't know what size the bolt is.

Those are fwd rims, you don't want them. You also can't fit that wide of a tire on them so, don't try.

I have seen these rims on a guy car after doing a search here on thirgen.org. He is using 19" rims and I want the 18" for my ride.
