Will 19x12 wheels fit my C5

[dougelam]

I am looking at a set of C6-Z06 wheels and I want to know if they fit my 2002 roadster before buying them.
I saw a couple of posts about this and did not see where someone had this combo 18-19 with the rears having 19x12 with 325/30r19 tires.

I understand 19s and 20s will fit, but not with stock wheels unless spacers are used - wrong offset in the back.

I'd say ya might need some rear body protection when you get them monsters mounted...

​

Before I bought my new wheels I put my rears on the front to test for fit and clearance and found that they rubbed, in order to put a wider wheel on the front wouldn't we need a different offset?
That offset would be the same on the outside and the tire would be inside the wheel well deeper. With the tire being the same diameter I did not see much difference, so I decided to stay with the 17/18.


Would more positive caster have eliminated the rubbing??

So maybe 305/30's would be a better fit as long as they fit the 12" wide wheels

When I bought mine I had 18x9 on front 18x10 on back the front couldn't handle more with the stock set up. Hope this helps. I go to discount tire and my guys are extremely helpful and they have a chart on rim size to tire size that will give you overall tire and rim dimensions
