Default Need some wheel advice!

I am looking to get a set of wheels but think they might stick out quite a bit, does anyone know if a set of C6 Z06 Replicas 5x4.75 bolt pattern - 19x9.5 front -20x11 rears with offsets +57 front and +79 rear work on my stock 2002 Z? I think the fronts should be fine but worried about the rears. The tires on them are 275-30-19 NANKANG NS-11's on the front and the rear tires are 295 30 20 Toyo Proxes 4 295/30R20 Performance Tire's. Thanks!

The rear wheels need a 62-65mm offset. Those 79mm offset wheels are for a C6 & will rub on the inner fenders. The front wheels have the correct offset.

Sorry, just saw your post. Here are the specs for the C%, base and Z)6, which I keep handy:

C5: STANDARD THIN SPOKE

Front 17x8.5 - 58mm
Rear 18x9.5 - 65mm

C5: Z06

Front 17x9.5 - 54mm
Rear 18x10.5 - 58mm

You need to be really careful about sticking out. it really looks bad to most, and it will damage the fenders.

Hope this helps,
