Default zo6 wheels w/ brake upgrade

Sorry if this has already been aswered but I was wondering how much of an offset the wheel has to have to clear the zo6 six piston caliper? I wanted to go with he reproduction zo6 wheel in hyper sliver W/ 18x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the rear havent figured out tire size yet.

Please Help ,

Mike

offset is not the issues with brake clearance it's wheel design .... many wheels which are the exact same offset and width vary widely when it comes to brake clearance

I have the Z06 reproductions with the Z06 Brakes. You need to go to 18x9.5 Frt and 19x11 Rr. The stock tires will work, but I went with 265/35s front and 305/30s rear. You could also go with 275/35 front and 295/35 rear. Hope this helps,
