Cool 2012 grand sport rims & tires

Hello Everyone, I am new to this site and I have to say it's great! I'm hoping for some help with rims/tires. I've checked the posting and the info is great but i'm old school and still need some help. I have 99 SLP Formula and trying to put a set of 2012 Vette GS rims/tires on it. They are as follows rear=325-30-zr19 (19-12) with 9" of back space. Front=275-35-zr18 (18-9.5) Excuss my stupidness but will rear fit with BFH Mod and a spacer? how much spacer? Will front require the same for spacer? I also in process of ordering a Moser 12bolt, would it be better to order rear end longer? and how much longer? I will be posting pics ect of car soon. remember i'm older and computers are alittle tough for me! Thank You Everyone John. SLP Formula p.s. I Have all suspension mods. I will list all mods and pics as soon as i figure everything out.

There are a couple of guys running them. They look awful to me on the Corvette, they look even worse on a 4th gen F-body. Whatever you think looks good though. A 315 can rub, so a 325 is going to cause you some grief, and will stick out past the fender on that wheel.

With 9" of back space on a 12" wheel that would give you a 76.2mm offset. That doesn't sound right to me. I thought the GS wheels were a 59mm offset, which would be around 8.3" of back space.

In either case the math suggests, assuming I did that right, this won't fit well. Either you run an adapter that pushes the wheel far enough away from the inner fender to keep contact down at which point it'll stick out, or the tire will contact the inner fender well.

It will fit fine, They dont really stick out, the cars that have them just have 4x4 stances, when you see them on a car with the right stance they look great
