No way, offset is fine, wheel is simply too wide.

18x11's will fit but you have use spacers and roll your fenders

and roll your fenders... thats the magic words there... but even then you wont be able to jam that much bigger tire under there.

I have 10.5 with 275's on my box and I would not want to go any wider than that, unless you want the 4x4 look with your tires sticking out past the wheel well. It looks good on my Hummer but not on a Box imho

If they are the original ones from a Turbo, they are 18x11's. They can fit with a spacer and lots of fender rolling. Also you will have to stretch the tire to keep clearance. Two other things to keep in mind if you do by some miracle fit those bad boys on your car. Added weight of a much wider tire and understeer.

Ah thanks guys.

What Ill do is clean up the rears and see if anyone with a C2 riding on 18 x 10 Hollow Spoke Turbo II's wants to trade up for my 18 x 11 Hollow Spoke Rear wheels... So long as there rear set come with P-Zeros with 80%+ tread left.

Here is some info I gotten from the seller:
18 x 8 ET50 Fronts

18 x 11 ET46 Rears

Whats the ET stand for?

ET is offset... the turbo's offset rear is similar to ours, the C2's isn't... Front ET should be self explanatory... you need a 15+mm spacer. To the best of my knowledge, the Turbo II's did not come in 18x10 hollow spokes... only the turbo I's did... and those with a 993 offset... which I have no idea what that ET is
