C6 Grand Sport wheels on a C5?
I'd like to put C6 GS wheels with the stock 275/35/18 + 325/30/19 tires on my C5. My gut instinct tells me I'm going to have scrubbing/ rubbing somewhere. I know you guys know so whoever can help I would appreciate it!

I can handle some overhang. Just not scrubbing! They're amazing wheels and I'm ready to see them on my car.

More pics? GS fronts / Z06 fronts are similar to the square setup I want to run. Impossible to find pics

Your FRC looks great with those wheels, dark tint n paint. I've always been partiar to that color. I take it the 275 are no issue n the front...

245 40 18's up front and no issue either.
Well I did have to cut rear spring to keep it from scraping inside of rear wheel. Car is lowered on aftermarket bolts.
I'm thinking of adding 2" flared rear fenders and changing rear tires to 345s.

Here is my 02 with 325 rears. The wheels are off an 08 ligenfelter. They don't stick way out. They don't rub. I added a 1/8" spacer in the rear just to be sure. But they don't stick way out.

Plenty of answers to your questions here.
If you get 2" flared fenders, then you'll need 1" adapters to space it out.

GS Wheels
I put new chrome GS wheels on my C-5 the day after I bought it 2 years ago. They are the same size as the stock wheels, as far as size and back spacing. The guy I bought the vette from had just put brand new Michelin run flats so I wasn't about to change tire size. Picked them up new online for $750 for the set. I think they are the best looking "stock" wheel Chevy ever put on a vette, or for that matter, any factory wheel.
