Default Widebody complete: Need Help determining the correct rims and tires

There is a lot of information regarding tires and rims. Can someone help me narrow down the right rims and tires that will not rub on my C6 vette with widebody rear.

Car: 2005 C6 vette
Front panels on car is a Base model narrow body
Rear panels on car is a Wide body

What size tires can go with the following rims?

First set of rims choice:
Front 18 x 8.5 (+56 offset) "Base model" What tires will fit this rim? * I think it should be 245/40 R 18
Rear 19 x 12 (+59 offset) "Wide body" What tires will fit this rim?

Second set of rims choice:
Front 19 x 8.5 (+56 offset) "Base model" What tires will fit this rim?
Rear 20 x 12 (+59 offset) "Wide body" What tires will fit this rim? * I think is should be 345/25 ZR 20


Can someone complete the puzzle?
Thanks

Just put the tire size you want and it'll show you what rims will work with that tire.

Good Luck, hope this helps.

There are other members that added widebody kits to their cars. I only added the rear widebody panels. I do not want to experiment with tire/ rims to prevent rubbing or other problems. I wanted to know what rim/ tire combination others are using to get the best look. The web site is very helpful "thanks". But I still want to know what others are using.
