Default Wheel Fitment on an 05 Z51

Will a 19x12 fit my rear wheels on my 05 Z51 .. with no rubbing or spacers etc?

Dont care if they stick out a little bit .. just want to make sure before I upgrade the wheels. Current rears are 19x10 i believe.

How do you define rubbing? They will stick out and if the car is lowered at all, the tires will hit. CCW will build you wheels that will fit that are 12" wide.

If you need that much rubber, you will need to update the diff if you haven't already.

12" will stick outside the quarter and won't be a problem unless or until the car squats. Won't rub on the inside.

I have 18x11.5 ccw it doesn't rub or hit inside, but the barrel did touch the a frame very slight, dont know if it was on a bump or when jacked up but that was an 18" 19" should be fine, that was with a 305 35 mt

This is the size that the wheel comes in .. just want to know if it will fit correctly or not.
