Default Need your guys help with wheels....

I posted in the Z06 section but havent gotten many responses , so we will try here... HELP ME GUYS I need to pull the trigger quick if I want them.

Im looking at some wheels (Iforged ) that came off a 02 Z06 . They are 19x10 up front and 19x10.5 in back. Are there going to be any clearance or rubbing issues?

Here is the info: The tires seem small ???
19x10 front with Toyo Proxes T1-S 255/35/19
19x10.5 rear with Potenza SO3 275/30/19

I just dont want to drop that kind of coin and have ACH issues or rubbing...Its not worth the headaches even if they are beautiful.

BTW I am lowered on stock bolts....didnt cut the bushings.

I don't know about the rubbing and clearance issues, but a 255 tire seems really small to put on a 10 inch wheel. The OEM rears are 275 on a 9.5 inch wheel.

Way too small...
...think 275 or 285 on the front and think 305 or 315 on the rear

275X30X19 front
295X35X19 rear will give you an overall diameter very close to stock.

I knew the tire sizes seemed off but I was wanting to make sure that I wouldnt have ACH issues until the time it needs new tires.

Thanks Guys
