Default Wheel fitment

I have 9.5 & 11 for stock C6s with the wrong offset of 56mm & 64mm. They do not fit the rears the way I like, but plan to put Z06 tires on those wheels. Goodyear says that the width is OK, but will they hit the fenders?

I have a high degree of confidence that someone has tried this.

I run Z06 tires but with the correct offsets. My street wheels/tires are CCW SP16A wheels, 9.5” x 18” front / 11” x 19” rear with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar EMT’s...275/35ZR18 front / 325/30ZR19 rear...stock Z06 tires.

The fronts have a backspacing at 7.75" which is 64mm offset. The rears have 9.15" backspacing which is 79-80mm offset.

With the correct offsets and backspacing the rear Z06 tires are tight. I'm no expert but I think the rear Z06 sized tires will hit your wheel wells.

I would think your wheel manufacturer or vendor would know?
