Pic of same wheels (different color) on my car. Protrudes 1/4" at top of fender with 305/30s on them. I like the look (looks full).

It's raining, or I would get you a dead on rear shot.

What offsets are these tires? I also am looking at the 19x11 in the rear for autocrossing. I'd like to slap a set of 315/40R19 Hoosiers on them. Would that rub the fender?

This calculator will help you with what Rim width is required. You can also compare your stock tire with your new tire to see what affects it will have.

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

I'm hoping someone has the offset answer I was told that we have almost 2" of inside clearance for the wheel to go more inside but I'm not sure if that is true or what that means the offset would be (or if anyone makes a rim like that...)

How is the offset on the 19x11" rear z06 wheels?

Since they are 1" wider than the stock wheels, do they go inside
the fender more, or stick out more, or a bit of both?

Thanx

I think the additional 1" of width is spaced equally between the inside and outside of the wheel.

These are 19X11 with stock size rubber.

A complicated question; You need to know the wheel/tire width AND the offset of both the stock and replacement wheel/tires.

Try http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp and/or;
http://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html
Read the definitions of offset vs backspace/frontspace.

Offset is very important to wheel/tire fit. But the definition of fit is difficult. My shoe size is 10 1/2 but I can force my foot into a 9 1/2 OR wear an 11 1/2. Do those sizes "fit"?
