Rears are 18x9.5 with a 275-40x18.

Stock Z06 sizes introduced in 2001 are 265-40x17 on a 9.5" wide wheel and 295-35x18 on a 10.5" wide wheel. The OEM Z06 sizes will perfectly fit on the correct width wheel on any C5, without any rubbing issues or traction control problems.

Rim= the outer edge, border, margin, or brink of something, esp. of a circular object.

Wheel= a circular frame or disk arranged to revolve on an axis, as on or in vehicles or machinery.
