Default Wheel Question?

I am looking at two sets of wheels for my 84. One set is the Z06 Motorsport Wheels with the correct offset and 275/40/17 tires. The other set is C6 Z06 Wheels with +40mm offset and 275/35/18 tires. My question is should I be concerned with +2mm? Will they rub or am I worrying about nothing. Which ones would you guys recommend? I know the ZR1 wheels look good, but I want something different. Wheel #1 is the motorsport zo6. and wheel #2 is the c6 z06.

Don't worry about 2mm. It will definitely fit; the question is will your eye be able to tell a 2mm difference? Also, if it's more 'out', then it might make it look better even...

Also, I'd go with the c5 z06 wheels FWIW.
