Default c6 wheels on a c5???

Is there an issue with the bigger 18"/19" wheels on a c5 scrubbing or rubbing? Or is it ok to replace the 17"/18" combo with 18"/19" wheels on a 2001 C5 corvette? If I go this route should I keep the same offset?

Thanks In Advance,
Jamey

Jamey,

Just put them on my 2004 Vert. No issues....the offsets are a little different in the back...but you don't notice when they are bolted up...here are some pics:

They'll fit -- but do you really like the look.

Have you been to this place for some alternatives: www.tirerack.com
