Default Wheel Help Please

I have been searching for weeks now to find some aftermarket wheels for my 16' Stingray w/Z51......put Michelin AS3+non RF's stock size F245/35/19 R285/30/20 on last Aug. So when I find a new wheel that I like it won't fit or the offset won't work etc etc? When I do a search on my wheel fitment it says F 19x8.5 +56 offset R 20x10 +79 offset.....bolt pattern is (5x120.65) for example I called Wheelfire today about some MRR GF9 wheels which is exactly what I was looking for and the guy on the phone said those wheels will not fit even tho the sizes were the same he said they don't come with my offset sizes ugh so, I asked what wheels would fit and he said there was only one other model MRR wheels and said the front was a 19x11??? So he lost me there lol so in my frustration and trying to understand I hung up? My question is can I move to a bigger size wheel I didn't know that was an option lol just so you guys know I've never bought aftermarket wheels b4 I like the stockers but I want something different! Please if you have any info to pass on I would really appreciate it...I know it's probably me and not understanding how this works but I'm new at wheels lol if that makes any sense....I don't want to buy new tires and just FYI my budget for the new wheels is $1500 for the set and I realize you get what you pay for but I've seen many right at or under my budget thank you guys for listening and any help you gave.

Honestly, you’ll probably have better success getting an answer if you post this question in the C7 General forum.

Hey Ross I just seen this thread, Hopefully this info can be of some help to you.
Yes your stingray has extremely high off set requirements 19x8.5 56et /20x10 79et are factory specs. At this time at least from our Brand we only have one model that works on your vehicle and that is our MRR M755 19x9.5 front 50et and 20x11 73et rears, those fit tight onto your car. Let me know if you would like price information as we do have them in stock .
