Front
18x8.5
+56 offset
6.8" backspacing
Rear
19x12
+63 offset
10.2" backspacing

Thanks Jonathan, I actually have that site listed on my favorites. I guess I'm having trouble with some of the terms and how to visualize them. Unless I'm reading this incorrectly, it doesn't necessarily show how much farther the wheels will come out.

19*12 for flared fenders. I might just go with either c6 z06, or GS wheels. I don't think they will push the wheels out enough to fill in the flares, and I'm trying to get away from running an adapter. Did look at forgestar, but build time is backed up apparently.

If you go with c6z or GS wheels you will need 21mm adapter or spacers to push the wheels flush, that is about 13/16" thick. If your wheels do not have the recess on the hub you will have to use a spacer which means you will have to install longer wheel studs. Use hubcentric adapter or spacer.
If buying custom wheels the manufacture can provide the proper offset.
