My 09 has Front P245/40 ZR18 on 18X8.5 wheels, Rear P285/35 ZR19 on 19X10 wheels. Will my tires work on a 2013/2015 Grand Sport rims?

I looked at the AD again and it says that the rims are off of a 2015. It did not mention Grand Sport!

No , you have a C6 base , Grand Sport and ZO6 has different offset rims , much wider rims and much larger tire size ... if you use these rims and tires they will rub in front and stick out an inch in the rear

your tires are to small to fit on these rims .....

PS - 2013 is a C6

2014 - 2015 is a C7

I thought not, just making sure. I found a set of rims somewhat locally on Craigs list but they are off of a 2015 model!

I had similar aspirations. Then people started talking about offsets and issues with tpms, traction control and the speedometer accuracy...so I abandoned that idea. If it works out for you please be sure to let us know.
