Widebody wheels will rub on narrow body fenders. Don't do it.

Also, GS/Z06 wheels have had many issues with cracking/bending. Z51 wheels not so much.

True (although not mine or any GS/Z06 friends on mine, knock on wood). However, you’ll never make it long enough to crack or bend wheels. Your worry instead will be “eaten up” quarters and fenders, way before cracking or bending become an issue
