Ace Wheels being widened?
I run the Ace "slick" wheel on my car now to stay under base C6 fenders but clear my Z brakes.
I have a rear wide body waiting to go on so I can run 345 invos in the back. If I keep them at the 19x11 with the 345s would they be flush with new fenders or be sunk in a lil?
I wouldnt mind buying a set of 19x12s off a Z06 but not sure if they would look the same as the Slicks I run up front.

The OEM Z06 wheel looks different than the Ace Slick wheel. The lugs nuts are in different positions.
The Ace Slick wheel for your C6 has a different offset than what is needed to look right with Z06 fenders. You can use a spacer to move the wheel outwards but that doesn't affect weather you can put a 345 tire on it or not.
I believe the narrowest recommended wheel for a 345 is 12".

Lugs nuts in different positions? Its the same bolt pattern.
Im just gonna end up getting two rear wheels off a Z and keep my ace wheels for autocross wheels till I feel the need to spend asinine amount of money on forged wheels.

The rear ACE wheel is 11" wide which will take a 325 tire (Z06 size) - but not the 345.
If you are happy with 325's you can just keep the ACE wheel and use a billet spacer to move it outwards when you do the Z06 fenders. If you are set on a 345 tire, then you are looking at new wheels = $$
