Default Wheels

I have a stock 2006 c6 with 18 x 8.5 inch and 19 x 10's presently. I know of a set of 18 x 9.5 and 19 x 12's. Does anyone know if they will work for me? I would love the look of the wider wheels and I don't see that they would give any trouble but just asking in case anyone else knows if there is anything I may not have noticed.

It depends on the offset.

18X9.5 will fit the front, I have this size wheel w/275-35 tires and no issues.

However, 11" is typically the max width you can run in the rear without jeopardizing your quarter panels, and again they require the correct offset. And you can run a 325-30/19 tire.

Here's a couple links to help you make your decision.
