compare that with my current wheels that are 11inches +83 with 295s or 305s are flush, as much as I would push out vs stock without looking like they are sticking out, 7-10mm from stock.....
a lot of these TSWs, etc look like they stick out to me. I had TSWs first and the stock 285 tire rubbed the fender (lowered on stock bolts).

Possible, but the guy at west coast corvettes said they would take them back if the fitment is off. No lose. I'm gonna run 285's, non lowered, only on drag strip days. They'll probably be used 20 hours a year. I'll be interested to see how these fit but it's a no lose situation either way, being that I can return them.

I have TSW's on mine with and can attest to the rubbing. I hear it mostly on the passenger rear. I'm also lowered on stock bolts.

I tried the wheels from my C5 Z06 (C6Z replicas in size 18x10.5", 58mm offset) and they stuck out about 1.5" from the fender on the C7 Z51.
