Rim Size??

I am wondering what is the widest I can have a Rim on a C5Z with the outside flush with the body lines. I want to fit a 12" rim under to rear, whats the widest tire I can fit as well?

There not, I have about 2k on them and they are sold to a forum member! Figured I would sell them before I tear them up!

NT05Rs 345/30/19 with mini tub will be new setup in spring!

Also adding 4lbs of boost so I hope they will be good at 700

That they are

No issues what so ever - no tub, no flares, no spacers. It's perfect.

The problem is getting those offsets from the Vette owners who run them. It's like pulling teeth around here.

Actually, the info should be on the shipping invoice. I believe Motley Drew said his 13" wide rears were built with 8.875" of backspacing. That would be +49mm of offset.
