OEM or true C6 Z06 wheels are 19*12 rear and will stick out even w/ most of the typical mods for big wheels. Look at base C5, C6, or C5 Z06. Reproductions are another matter as you can spec the size.

I got my 17s and 18s from a vender on the forum and they are fine. I have off set trailing arms and used 2 1/2 in spacers.
