How would 19 x 8.5 fronts and 20 x 9.5 rears work, would these be worth installing?
Have this set sitting around and wondering if the rears would be to narrow

When guys go with new wheels, they generaly go as wide as they can to get the most rubber in the wheel wells! These wheels are narrower than stock Zo6 widths, I wouldn't use them myself.

After seeing Latterlon's car it really made me like the TSW Interlagos' wheels. He was nice enough to answer many questions from me and that got me to buy a set too. I did go a little different on the front than him. Instead of a 19x9 with a 265/30-19 I went with 19x10.5 and 20x10.5 wheels with 295/30-19 and 315/30-20 Toyo R888 tires. I finally had them mounted and balanced this weekend. Now I just need to lower it a little bit.
Looks really good. I´m also looking for new wheels and most likely they will be from TSW as I want to install the C6 Z06 BB and I need a TÜV certificate.
Following questions:
- do you have any rubbing in these dimensions?
- did you weigh the setup?
- do the Interlagos clear the C6 Z06 BB?
Thanks a bunch, Rouven.

I posted the weights in another post.
Just for the hell of it I pulled off one front and one rear wheel off of my car today to see what the setup weighed. I scaled them on my buddy's track scales so the weights are only in whole pounds.
The wheels are TSW Interlagos.
Up front are 19x10.5's with 295/30-19 Toyo Proxes R888 and scaled in at 52 lbs..
In the rear are 20x10.5's with 315/30-20 Toyo Proxes R888 which scaled in at 59 lbs..
I don't think the weights are too crazy considering the wider wheel and tire up front and wider tire in the rear.
