Will these wheels fit?
I am not sure if these wheels would for my c5 z06 and was hoping someone could help me with this. The weeks are zr1 replica wheels with the following specs
Fronts are 18"x8.5" and 6.75" backspacing with 245/40/ZR/18 tires
Backs are 19"x10.5" with 8.75" backspacing and 285/35/ZR/19 tires.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Front pushes outward .200
Rear pushes inward .700
Here is a web site I use for research

The 18x8.5 with 6.75 backspacing is equal to an offset of 51mm.
The 19x10.5 with 8.75 backspacing is equal to an offset of 76mm
Assuming you are running the OEM C5Z06 wheels on the car then the specs for those wheels are:
C5 Z06:
Front 17x9.5", 54mm offset = 7.38" backspace
Rear 18x10.5", 58mm offset = 8.03" backspace
Using this offset calculator and the Z06 wheel specs as "current " wheels and your proposed wheels as the "New" wheel specs and using this wheel offset calculator:

The outer edge of the proposed front wheels will be retracted into the fender well by 10mm or 0.37 inches relative to the Z06 front wheel.
The outer edge of the proposed rear wheels will be retracted into the wheel well by 18mm or 0.69 inches relative to the Z06 rear wheel.
My numbers agree with the previous posters rear wheel calculations but are significantly different than the front wheel calculations.
If it were me I would pass on wheels with those specs.

Thank you very much guys! It was a brand new set of wheels and tires on a decent deal but like you said does not sound like a good fit for me. Much appreciated!
