2007 With Z-51, Max Size Wheels and Tires ?
My 2007 Needs new wheels and tires. What are the largest width wheels I can safely fit under the fenders without cutting the fender lips? This is a 2007 with Z-51 which is not tracked. Recommendations needed for both wheels and tires. Thanks!

On a 2007 coupe/vert:
Widest front wheel w. proper offsets: 9.5" to 10"
Widest rear wheel w. proper offsets: 11" (possibly 11.5")
You should state your budget for wheels/tires. You should also specify whether a run-flat tire is critical to you.
TSW and Cray are great options for wider yet lightweight wheels for around $1500/set, or there are a lot of nicer options in the $3-5K+/set range. As for tires, people have fit as large as Z06 size rubber on a coupe, provided the wheels have the correct offsets.
Do some searching as there is a lot of information on this topic - for wheels, tires, and pictures of different set-ups.

Here's one C6/C7 setup:
Front, 19 x 10.5 56mm wheel, 295/30-19 Sport Cup 2 tire
Rear, 19 x 11 79mm wheel, 315/30-19 Sport Cup 2 tire
Some over-the-counter wheels:
Oz Superleggera III
Front, 19 x 10.5, 59mm, listed as a C5 rear wheel, a 3mm spacer makes this wheel as 56mm offset while a 5mm spacer makes this wheel as 54mm offset
Rear, 19 x 11, 75mm, listed as a C6 rear wheel
Basically, to get the 19 x 11 in 79mm wheel offset requires custom wheels
