Default Help with wheel size!

Hey everyone - so I have a question. Never been much good with understanding wheel specifics, but I am looking to buy some wheels and I need to know if they will fit because one site says they will and another says they won't. Anyhow, I'm looking at a set of 18X8 Momo Drones. Will they fit my 2011 base model Z?

Please help!

Anyways, @OP they will fit the front but not too sure about the rear... Stock base model wheels are 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the rear if I'm not mistaken? (feel free to correct me on that). I'd suggest looking into 18x9s at least, of course you can still make it fit if you really wanted to

Thanks very much for the last reply! That really helps. Don't know what the hell the person who replied prior to you was trying to get at, but at least someone knows what they are talking about and are willing to help! Thanks again! I appreciate it.
