Default Will 2006 corvette rims fit my 1999 Formula LS1?

Currently, I have 2001 corvette rims on my car. 245/40/17 in the front and 275/40/18 on the back. I had to hit the back piece of my car a bit to make them fit, but it didn't take much. I can get a good deal on some newer 2006 corvette rims with a trade. They are 275/40ZR18 GOODYEAR run flats on the front, and 285/35ZR19 GOODYEAR run flats on the back. Will these fit? Or, am i wasting my time?

as long as the offset/backspacing are ok you should be fine. and unless those are Goodyear Supercar EMTs take them off, the other runflats are horrible

No they won't.

C6 rears are a full 10mm or more offset over the C5 rims, which are already at the BFH limits. Will definately need a spacer for them to work.
