Default rim/tire size question

will 18x9.5 (275/35-18 tire) and 19x11 (305/30-19 tire) fit on a stock C5? I really want to install C6 Z06 wheels in that size, along with the C6 Z06 complete brake kit. I know the 19x12 rears won't fit unless it had C6 fenders but will the 19x11's?! any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

For those sizes the offsets are very improtant, but they will fit. The rears do slightly stick out from the fenders, but it is hardly noticeable unless you are looking for it. You want 65mm offset for the rears at 19x11 and 59mm offsets for the fronts at 18x9.5.

My wheels stick out (18x10.5) about 1/2 inch and it buggs the hell out of me.
Its on my list to replace. I need to a minitub and order some 18x12s with the right offset

They make C6 Z06 wheels for the correct offset in the 19's for our cars.....check with Tom at Tomzwheels on corvetteforum for a price quote.....super cheap!
