Default C6 Wheels

Anyone put C6 wheels onto a C4, (non ZR1)?
C6 wheels are 18 x 8.5 with +56 offset...thats no problem, but the rears are 19 x 10 with + 79 offset....that is +29 more than stock (+50).

Just wondering how much would stick out on the rears....

Don't remember the thread but there is a guy running 12" wheels all the way around but I think they are 18"s

That offset of 79mm makes the wheel sit too deep in the wheel well. You need to run a 1" spacer,(adapter), to keep it from rubbing the brake line/ inner fender.

I have those wheels on mine, but my adapters are 1.5". (a little wider than it needs to be)
