I'm not 100% sure but I don't think they will work. I believe the C6 offsets are way too LOW. You would need to run a spacer, especially with that wide of a tire.

The fronts should work but the rear wheels do have a pretty low offset already but with 325's and being 19's that might be a bit too much because they are obviously wider than the stock c6 wheels even though they have the same offset, no matter what bfh mod and shaving bumpstops

The offset on the c6 wheels if anything, is too high and will prob need a spacer for the rear.

I put just a regular set of C6 Wheels on my 99 Camaro and they rubbed so I'm pretty sure a the wider Z wheels will definitely rub. You might try it with a spacer and see what happens.

Call CCW...they will give you the offset/BS they use for that set-up...unless the original owner specifically ordered something different. That would at least give us something to run with.

Work? Yeah, but you will need spacers. Since you're pushing the limit for what will fit, the best thing to do is buy the wheels, fit them in place, and measure to see how large of a spacer you'll need. You can't guesstimate when you're talking about something like a 12" wheel and a 325 tire.

You'll also need to roll the fender lip and use a little BFH on the inner fender most likely.

For a fact, those tires in the rear will be an issue. I run a 305/30/19, and the tire is taller than stock, so a 325/30/19 is even taller.

305/30/19 = 26.2" (stock is 25.5")
325/30/19 = 26.7"

That half inch doesn't sound like much, but it's half an inch taller, and almost an inch wider, which is going to be tough to fit, no matter what the offset is. Can you get it to fit, sure, but it most likely will mean getting offset control arms, rolling the fenders and hammering in the inner fenders.

I was able to run a 325 size tire on the rear of my old 19/20" CCW 505a setup, but they were F-body specific. I foresee issues running that size tire in the rear on a C6 specific CCW setup.
