...my humble homage to you all.

Just purchased my first C6, 06 base coupe. Bone stock. Lowered as much as it'll go without cutting the rear pads...not enough, but that's a project for another day.

I'm looking to put repro 427 anniversary cup wheels on my ride and I want a little more meat than stock...having trouble finding 19x11 rears which I've read on here will fit pretty well. All I can find are stock sizes or 19x12. Does anyone have pics of (or know) how much the 19x12 sticks out past the fender? I can live with some, would prefer nearly flush, but sure don't want it to look ridiculous. Thanks in advance.

I was on here a few years ago when I had a C5 and thought I knew what I was doing...NOT...don't know where the original message like this went?! Sorry guys.

12" will stick out I run 11s and that works great and congrats on the new Vette

You won't find the 'cup' wheels in anything other than the 10" and the 12" for the rears.

Also, if you have lowered your car, you definitely don't want to use the Z06/GS size wheels on the rear. They stick out enough that the tires will hit your rear quarter panels when you hit a dip or a bump.

You'll have to get some custom wheels if you want 11" rears that fit or you can get Ace Slick wheels that are 9.5" front and 11" rear that are made to fit the stock C6.
