Good rim offset ?
Hello,
C6 2007 coupe supercharged
I bought two 325/30R19 and two 275/35/18 tires like the Z06.
I want to have the tires flush the fenders. I want to buy rims 19x12 and 18x9.5.
Do you know the exact offset I must have ?
Thanks
Eric.

Those are OEM wheel sizes and specs.
You will need to "fit" the size wheel you are looking at for your base to ensure proper fit without rubbing on the inner suspension components.
Check with Keith (DocZ@1stRateCorvette) a forum sponsor here at www.floridaspeedshop to see what offsets would work with what you are trying to accomplish

They will stick out past the fenders on base narrow body C6, hence the one of the reasons the Z06/GS have the wider fenders. On the stock C6 base you can run a 265/35/18 front and a 305/30/19 rear. The 275s will fit as long as you get a wheel with the correct offsets, the stock +40MM Z06 wheel offsets will push the wheels out past the fenders giving you a 4x4 truck look and can throw road debris up on the body. If your adamant about making your tires work then you will need to do at the very least a rear widebody conversion in order to run the 325/30/19s. We can then offer several wheel styles with a 18x9.5 front with the correct offset for a narrow body C6 and a 19x12" for the rear with the widebody conversion. PM or email me for any questions.

19x12 will be a little hard on stock fenders. I run 325/30R19 Hankook V12s on 19x11 et73s with a slight poke and not much room on the inside... it's also worth noting that Hankooks usually run narrower than other brands.
Suffice to say, a 19x12 wheel might just be too wide for the stock fenders if you want it perfectly flush.
