Question AR Rims

I found a good deal on america racing rims. 18x8.5 Rouges for $750 shipping included. That's about $200 cheaper than I've seen them.... BUT I was wondering if I need something more than 8.5? I have a 02 z28 and I am also planning to get a set of pacesetter w/ ORY and the SLP cold air kit + the 85mm MAF. I am stock right now expect I have the SLP LM exhaust.

yeah, stock is 16x8 just make sure the backspacing is right on them and the bolt pattern matches, should be 5x4 3/4

You can only go as large as a 245/40/18 on that rim.

Amazingly that's what I orderd today..

I got american racing rougues 18x8.5, wrapped in 245/40/18 kumho ecsta supra 712s.

Total packageprice with shipping comes to $1349. This includes lug nuts, and the tires are mounted and balanced so I can just slap them on.
