Default C7 wheels

I am sorry if this has been discussed, did some searching didnt see the answer, but looking to buy a set of c7 rims and tires for my c5 vert. The wheels are 20x11 rear a d fronts are 19x9.5. The tires are 315/30/20 rear and 275/35/19 front. What spacers work best? Also will I have to new TPMS sensors or can I use my old ones? Thanks!

Fronts should be ok but what are the offsets for the rear wheels?

for that high of an offset you'd probably need about an inch or 25mm worth of spacer

You should be able to use your existing TPM sensors on the new wheels. Stock offset for rear OEM wheels on a base/Z51 car is 79 mm. So go from there.
