Default Rim Question

I asked this question before but didn't really get a response so here we go again.

I am looking to putting new rims on my 05 Z51... stock rims is 18x8.5(front) and 19x10(rear). Without putting a widebody kit on the car (would love too but I can't afford that), would a 18x9.5 and 19x11 fit? would it look right or stick out too far? would it rub in the front and/ or rear? Any information and/ or advise would be great! Obviously, more rubber on the ground is what I would like to do.... thanks again... IYAOYAS

Very nice. What brand of wheels are those and what brand of tires are you running?

Thanks for the information... And the pics definitely help in making my decision to actually know it will work and look good at the same time! Thanks again... IYAOYAS
