My avatar pic shows that, however i put back my OEM painted black rims back on, those crays are way too overweight....lol, i had factory sze 17" and 18", 4.5 lbs on fronts and 6 lbs on rear weight difference. I stay away from those rims for sure, try interlagos or something which are same price as crays and weight almost Oem rims i heard.

It's ironical that Crays are made by TSW and yet they can't seem to keep the weight down.

use of 7mm spacers to bring the rear rims flush with the fenders for
the proper stance. (fronts offsets for both rims are fine to compensate for the 9" rims) The spacers also create another issue, you may need to replace the rear studs with longer studs or simply use ET Nuts.
In my son's case with the Hawks he was able to get 7-8 full turns of
tread engagement which we felt was within safety specs, however with my TSW's I could only achieve 4-5 turns, not sufficient in my opinion, I used ET nuts and was able to get 11-12 full turns engagement. That also created another problem, in order to fit the ET nuts, I had to drill out my new TSW's so that the larger diameter ET Nuts would fit. Can't figure out why TSW/Cray (Same manufacturer) does not offer the proper rear offsets for Corvette specific rims, and yet they are hubcentric.
Both cars are on Coilovers, Stance with son's LG GT2's on mine.

You can see how mine are in a week.... I will be putting my cray hawks on.
20x12.5 on 345/25/20
19x9 on 265/30/19
Upon test fit they looked like a perfect fit to me and I am not tracking mine so weight is a non issue. I expect more weight with a +2 wheel package anyways.

Can you please post additional pics? I've been looking at Crays & I'd like to see some more shots.
Any rubbing? Did you have to do any mods to make fit? Spacers?
Thanks in advance!

No spacers needed but I am installing them in the rear to flush them up more with my l5 rear quarters. On that note I did install L5 flared rear quarters.
Mine are c6z fitment rear and c6 fitment front.
19x9 with 265/30/19 front
20x12.5 with 345/25/20 rear
What angle pics do you want to see I can snap a pic of anything really...
