Default Wheel fitment

I have a 02 c5 on vms racing lowering bolts and im looking to buy new wheels. The wheels I plan on getting are c6 grand sport wheels with 275 on the front and 325s in the rear on the 19 inch rim. I wanted to know if I should be fine with running the 325s on the car or if It would rub and I would need a thinner tire.

if OEM offsets, they stick out beyond the fenders, both front and rear

but they will "fit"

yeah they are oem wheels I just was worried because the guy who I’m getting them from said that he had some rubbing on the inside of the fender well on his c5 and I’m not looking to buy the wheels and have to put thinner tires on them

This is a 19x11 with a 305/35 on the rear with +56mm offset. It fits perfectly in the arch. No lowering on my car-stock height. Yours will stick out more and you might need to raise the car to help with the scrubbing.

You can use a spacer to prevent any rubbing but that just makes them stick out farther. Good excuse to get flared quarter panels
