1980 L48 wheel specs

I have a 1980 L48 and to about time for new tires so I was thinking of some c5 zo6 or just c6 wheels but I'm not sure what I would have to do to make them fit(thinking about 8.5 or 9 in wheels) I don't want to shatter my fenders or rub or any bad things to happens to my baby lol

If anyone can give me some advise that would be awesome and much appreciated

I have 17" x 9.5" with 275/40 ZR17 tires and 2.5" wheel adapters all around. I have offset trailing arms, so parking brake cable bracket may need to be relocated on stock trailing arms.

I bought my wheel adapters here.

And bought my wheels here.

It seemed like it was more work than it was worth. I stayed with the 15inch wheel. That may have to change down the road due to the limited options on tires...
