Default Advice needed

I have an 07 z51 coupe. I want to put the 19 x 12 z06 wheels on it. The kind the 06's came with. I know they will stick out till i get the wider fenders. My question is will they go right on now with no problem. Will they affect the way the car runs? Im pretty ignorant when it comes to cars.

They'll go on and drive fine.......as long as the suspension doesn't compress too much. If the suspension does compress too far you kiss your fenders good bye.

Some pics and info collected by Talon90:

Thanks for the pics. Ive been wondering what it looked like. I only wanted to put the wide fenders on the rear but I see that the front will need them too. I guess I could go with another wheel all together and put 19 x 12 rear and 18 by 8.5 in the front right?

I get confused by all the wheel/tire size stuff so you'll need to talk to members who know a lot more than I do.

JohnODrake says you can use a regular Z06 front wheel with a standard C6 tire and it will work. I haven't seen it so don't know.

I think CCW makes Z06 "size" wheels that will work on a standard C6 but again, you need info from folks with better knowledge.
