Default Alignment question

I'll be putting on ZO6 size wheels and front rubber with 345's on the rear. Do i need to use different alignment specs or use the stock specs. (btw- the rears have worn more on the inside since new)
What would be the #'s i need. Thanks

If the offset of the replacement wheel is the same offset as the OEM wheel, the alignments specs will be the same.

The offsets would be ZO6 offsets

Different offsets don't change the alignment numbers (measured in degrees). If you are changing for looks, I'd keep the original numbers and maybe reduce the reag negative camber. If you're autocrossing or road racing, or drive very aggressively, the Z06 numbers would give better handling but at the expense of more tire wear.
