Default Large wheel option

I found this wheel on amazon and thought others who are looking for a larger wheel might be interested.... Its an 18 X 8.5 with 7" of backspace, which alot of backspace always seems to be the tough thing to find... Too wide and large for me but I thought others on here might be interested
OE wheels...

Thats just a C6 ZR1 style wheel.

but 8.5 inch wheel with 7inch of back spacing is a +57mm offset. that would push the inner lips 76 mm closer to the spring, or anything. dont see that fitting any C2.
