For those of you who went with a rear z06 widebody on your stingray/z51 what wheel tire setup did you go with and what offset for the back?
I went with a 19x9 +50mm front and 20x12 +41mm rear.
When I was starting to research wheel sizes/offsets, most vendors steered me in the direction of a +41 on the rear saying that was the industry “standard.” Well, if you don’t like them poking out from the quarter panels, I recommend you go with a higher offset in the rear.
I wanted to go with a 9 1/2 upfront but they were out of stock. When I used a 5 mm spacer, I had rub on the wheel well liners.
Here’s what my rear setup looked like:

So did you retain your stingray front fenders? I was told to go with 19x12 +59 offset for the rears. And go with 18x9 in front with + 56 what are your thoughts on this?

I DID keep my Stingray fenders then. I eventually did the entire widebody last summer. If I were you, I’d go with a 19” front, 20” rear. I think it looks better. Not sure about the clearance on the front you’re considering. That’s quite a bit bigger than stock.
