Default Forgestar Help!!

Hey everyone. So I am looking at going with the Forgestar F14 wheels in a 19/20 setup in matte black.

I have a huge concern though. I have a C6 Z06 brake setup on my car and I am unsure if the wheels will fit. I am hesitant because I have already gone through two sets of wheels that mentioned they would fit but did not. I just don't want to end up with a set of wheels I can't use again.

The wheels are 19 x 9 with a +44 offset and 20 x 11 with a +64 offset. How would these fit on my C5 coupe with the C6 Z06 brake setup (front and back)??

I also called Forgestar and Peter tells me that the +55 offset would clear (barely) the brakes. He didn't sound too reassuring.

Any input greatly appreciated.

I have seen this link but it doesn't really help me as I don't have the wheels yet to measure anything.
