It is not his car. He has a blue Z. But looking at the pic it does look like they stick out about half a inch. Depending a lot on the tires you are running. My rear CCW’s poke out a little because of my Michelin Sports with the lip protector on the tire.

Not my car, but I also run Forgestars, as many others here do. The wheels do not stick out. However, depending on the tire size, brand, and model you choose, the tire sidewall may bulge past the edge of the body a hair. Every tire is different. Nothing that will rub, however. Under acceleration, the tires will tuck in.

I can try and get it later tonight, heading into the city to go to a hockey game in a few minutes.
They do seem to stick out just a tad, but not enough that its really obvious.
Fronts are 275/30/19
Rears are 305/30/19

Sorry for the big pics. Had a second to run down to the garage for a second a took these. Not great pics but you can see how much they stick out

Nope. If I went with 265 tires on the front I think they would tuck in a little bit more in there. But I think they are right about perfect how they are.
Now I need to lower the car some so its not so much of a 4x4

I called forgestar about 2 years ago and was told by one of their phone reps that the CF5v rim does not fit on a C5 (I asked specifically about this one) and the only rim that did fit was the F14.

Wheels look sharp - I'm considering 19s all around for my C5 as well. Question for you - the fender gap looks larger than stock but I would have thought the larger overall diameter vs stock front 17s (and very close on rear 18s) wouldn't have been as noticeable. Do you have anything else adjusted that affects the ride height?
Or (for the group) is it the red Z06 pictured above lowered?
