Default 19x12 On The Back of F-Body ???
I'm not sure if it's posted on here already but it's pretty late and I'm to lazy to look. I'm wondering if anyone has put the C6 Z06 Wheels (19x12, 18x9.5) On their 98-02 F-Body? If so post some pics, oh and did you have any fitment issues? Thanks!

1. Too wide, 11" barely fits properly
2. Wrong offset

They will require a mini-tub to be installed, and some spacers to fit.

Ok so what if I were to order a wheel with a custom offset and backspacing? would a 12" wheel fit then?

Picture looking down the side? They look like they stick out 6" in that picture.

I've run 17x11's and 18x10.5's on the back of my cars, and I know what a tight fit that is. I can't imagine trying to fit anything bigger without serious modification (mini tubs). It would also likely require a very narrow LCA, as my 18x10.5's with a 305/35/18 don't offer much clearance.

Here in an inside shot of my TTII 17x11 w315's and you can see how close the fit is on the inside of the wheel, my index finger just barley fits in the gap...anything bigger, mini tubs and a lot of $
