I have 18 x 11 CCW Classics on the rear with no rubbing and no cutting of the ducts either. CCW can provide you with the correct offset to go as wide as 11 1/2" but then you have to remove the Z06 brake duct. 11" fits without sticking out. I use stock size tires, 295/35-18 Vredestein now, I use to have PS2's.

if you widen them you will need either flares or a tub for it to look correct.

11 in wheel with 315s would definitely fit. Not sure if you can go much bigger than that with having to tub, get flares, or look silly

Nitto 555rII's in 305-35-18 on a stock C5z 18x10.5 wheel in back. Looks perfect and handles 800+ hp fairly well.

Here's mine with my buddys C5 on the left, I have 295 and they are pretty wide on C6 Z06 rims (18X10.5) no rubs and looks great over stock size (see my buddy's). If you think you want 305, 315 or 325s in the rear you may have rub issues and you really aren't going to see a real difference in width, the 295 are nice looking and no interfering with suspension or wheel well shields. Good luck on your quest...
