I run the Weld RTS 17x11 in the back and 17x4.5 up front (high pad clearance).

Those were rear wheels I posted. Yes, C5Z fronts are good for C6Z rears.

I went with 17x11 C4ZR1 replicas with the 36mm offset. The 50mm offset version is for narrow body cars.

Way cheaper than welds...

Also I run 335/35/17 Hoosier DR2s on them.

I can't speak for the 50mm offset version. I know the 36mm ones work. They are replicas, you can buy them in lots of places
