Need help on Tire Size
I just bought the C126 08 Z06 Wheel in black and want to know what tire size tou use on there with no rubbing or without it sticking out. I have a base 2007 C6 and wanting as much information before mounting so I can be sure to send back if this is not what I am looking for.
Front is 18 x 9.5 with +57 offset was thinking of 275/35/18
Rear is 19 x 11 with +64 offset was thinking of 305/30/19 or 325/30/19
Any help on this issue is appreciated

I don't think your going to put a Z06 rim on a standard C6 without it sticking out, so you ordered the wheels and now your going to ask questions? did you do a "search" I would bet there are 3000 posts on this subject!

18x10 and 19x11 wheels with the proper offset fit just fine on a C6. Just ask LG since they sell tons of wheels in those sizes for the C6.
As for tires, 305/30/19 gives you a number of good choices. There's not much to choose from when trying to stick a bigger tire than that on the back.
Upfront, you can run 265 or 275s. It seems that 265 would be the better match for the AH system, but people are running the 275s without reporting any problems.

I called Corvette Wheels and talked to them with the 18x9.5 +57 offset on the front 275/35/18 will be good and on the back a 305/30/19 with a wheel size 0f 19x11 +79 offset on the rear. With this the wheels and tires will not stick out. Will post picks as soon as I receive the tires.
Thanks
to all and when in doubt ask a question and then call the wheel experts like corvette wheels .com
Thanks
