Default 19"/18" staggard wheels

Guys,

I am new to owning a C5 and have a quick question. I have come up on a good deal for some wheels and need to know if they will fit (meaning nothing sticking out from the wheel well) completely tucked under the fenders.

Can you advise? I have a 2003 that is currently on stock 18"/17"

Below is the add:


5 spoke after market wheels made to fit late 2000s (C6) corvettes and GM vehicles with bolt pattern 5x4.75in/5x120.6mm. The tire size that was mounted on these were 245/40 R18 (front) and 235/35 R19 (rear) and the wheel specs are Front 18″ diameter, fitting 8.5-9.5″ width tires and rear 19″ diameter, fitting 10-12″ width tires.

The fronts will fit fine. The rears will be too far in, not out. Add 20-25mm spacers/adapters and you'll be all set.

The wheels have no tires on them now, so I could get whatever is needed.

My current stock wheels have brand new tires, so it would be a while. The wheels are a great deal however. I will see if I can provide an offset for better details.

The offset is just as important as the bolt pattern for proper fitment. With the tire sizes you mentioned it is obvious those wheels did not come off a C5
