tire/rim concerns
Sorry if this may be embedded somewhere but I am looking for some help on the following please.
A 2005 Z51 coupe being upbraked to the C6 Z06 brakes all around with the stock body work.
Front wheel and tire off set seem to be no problem (intend to install the C6 ZR1 reproduction wheels if possible).
Looking for the off set for the rear ZR1 style wheels to clear the brake upgrade AND utilize to stock C6 rear tire size, 285/35/19.
Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated before I pull the trigger.
The tires were replaced with Firestone Firehawks, stock C6 sizes and they are not available in the stock Z06 rear tire size.
Thanks...

If the ZR1 has the same offset and wheel width as a Zo6, then stock 285 tire or a 295 will not look good or work, the tires section width is more narrow than the wheel width, the sides of the tire probably will not be able to touch the rim and the tire will not air up.
I tought about putting Zo6 wheels on my base 08 I got a set of wheels and I bought some 295's to try, but the tires, like I said, were more narrow the the wheels width I didn't bother trying to put them together it looked that bad.
