Default 19x10 +56 Rear

Will these rear wheels fit my stock body with no spacers correctly?

Well not if you put a 295/75 tire on them.

They will stick out a little bit further than stock, but just a few mms. Should be fine with the right tire.

The Factory C5Z06 wheels are 18x10.5 +58 and they fit the C5 perfectly.
He doesn't have a Z06. Compared to the base OEM wheels, the 19x10 et56 would stick out. 15mm according to that calculator you just posted.

OP asked if they would stick out and I interpret that to be "BEYOND THE FENDERS" . The specs he provided will be just over 1/8" MORE inside the fenders than will the factory Z06 wheels.
Thanks, I used a calculator similar to the one you posted with Z06 specs and saw the 4mm further inboard the wheel will sit.
Just wanted to get a second opinion to make sure I wasn't going crazy and seeing things.
