Default Wheel offsets C5 to C6

The C5 Z06 front wheel offset is +57 for a 18x9.5" rim
I would like to put on C6 ZR1 wheels to clear my the new Z06 brakes I plan on putting on...

The C6 ZR1 front wheel offset is +40 for a 19x10" rim

The rim is approximately 1/2 wider, but the -17 in offset is .67"...

Will this rim fit or stick out?
Will it clear the Z06 brakes?

Fits on mine no problem. Mine is not a Z06 though. I have the wheels off an 09 lingenfelter (zO6 spiders) with the same offset and size. Nothing rubs.

Can you please post pictures of your front and rear rims/tires?

willtheyfit.com is my goto for questions like this. Can't answer your brake clearance question, but I'd imagine a ZR1 rim would do just fine over C6Z brakes.

Love too. Still need to do an oil pan gasket before driving much. As I'm looking for work at the moment it has taken priority and the three times I've set aside lately to do it I've gotten side tracked by job interviews.

Your tire to fender clearance looks a bit high on both front and rear.

In your profile under mods, you say you have C6 Z06 Wheels with 325 30 19 and 275 35 18 and I'm assuming that's back to front.

My questions are is the height set so that they do not rub under heavy lateral swaying and are these oem spyder's?

Let us know please. Thanks

The suspension adjustments and parts are all OEM stock. Z71 handling package and upgraded to C6ZO6 shocks but nothing else different. I have had no rubbing issues.
