I feel it really depends on the style of wheel you go with. That blue z looks pretty sharp. I thought they looked big for 20's. The thin black spoke on a black car with no body kit or lower ride height, draws too much attention to the sheer massiveness of the wheels. But as demonstrated in the picture above, if done right, it can look good. The whole car is flashy, so the wheels dont look as flashy. If that makes any sense to you.
But bottom line. If they'll fit, and you like em. Do what YOU like. You asked if they'd fit. And according to a few posts, seems like its a tight squeeze but still can be pulled off. Why not? Go for it.
You car, your ride, your comfort, your taste, your style, your money ... your choice.

Why
Is it possible to put 22s in the rear and 20s in the front without any problems? I saw a c6 vert yesterday and I could of swore the rear were bigger than 20inches. I'm in the market right now for some black wheels but I'm leaning towards 20x11 rear and 19x8.5 in the front. I'm not concerned with the weight it will add because I'm not into quarter mile times. I just love how sharp it looks!

they will fit, i like the look but I am also 24 years old. i e-mailed the guy that owns the white vette (below) and he gave me the details on the wheels and tire sizes. he also said he has no problems with it at all. if you want the info, ill try to find it in my e-mail. i don't know how to post pictures but here are two that I looked at. I think I'm going to go with 20s all the way around though.

Both of these look good to me except for the lambo doors that is

A good rule of thumb to make the wheel/tire combo look proportionate is that the overall height of the wheel/tire has to be 1.618 times the wheel radius. The Greeks discovered long ago that the Golden Section (Phi) provides proportions most pleasing to the eye. This ratio is a consequence of Fibonacci numbers and is found everywhere in Nature. We've evolved in an environment where this ratio simply looks right. If you deviate very far from this ratio, the result is jarring to the eye.

IMO, the biggest you can go is 20s rear and 19s front. Anything bigger than that is just wrong.

I've taken lots of math classes. What physicist or engineer hasn't? But the tidbit about the Golden Section came from a class called "The Art of Design". That was a fascinating class, examining the basis for various artistic elements in product design. Engineers naturally think in terms of function, but they also need to understand how to think in terms of aesthetic appeal. Just as there are engineering rules, there are aesthetic rules too. Break them at your peril.

Never took "The Art of Design" though!
