Just about any wheel could work but you would have to use spacers to clear the calipers unless you bought wheels with a custom offset or you went with Z06 wheels. But putting spacers on them would make them stick out farther. I have 19's on mine and had to use spacers to clear them. I should have got the brakes first then ordered my wheels and I wouldn't have to use them.

The offset on the front is 57mm and the rear is 44mm. I know on the front I have a 1/2 inch spacer, I forget on the rear, I believe it is 5/8. You also would have to put on longer wheel studs. The wheels are 19x10 on the front and 19x11 on the rear. Hope that helps.

I used to work for a Chevy dealer, so I just bought them from there.
