Default 2007 wheels on a 2000

Will 2007 wheels fit correctly on my 2000 coupe? They are 18's and 19's, I just don't know about the offsets and what sized tires I would need to make them look right. Thanks for any advice.

everything i've read says that they will slightly rub on the inside fender liner in the rear.

all you need is 1/4" wheel spacers in the rear AFAIK.

You will also need to program the PCM to the new tire/wheel sizes. LS1edit and other programs will do that easily.

I did this about a year ago. Use adapters..not spacers. The adapters bolt to your existing wheel, and provide new studs for your wheels. 1" adapters work great. No problems with the adapters for over a year, and I am putting 508 HP to 'em. No need to program anything, because the overall wheel diameter is so close to the C5.
