Default C6 Spyders on 2002 Z28

I'm about to pull the trigger on some C6 Spyder wheels. They're 17x9.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. Front offset is 56 MM and rear is 57 MM. Will these fit without issue on my 2002 Z28? I would probably be doing 275 40's on the front and 285 35's at the rear.

If there is an issue with these sizes, what will work?

For the rears.

Looks like you need to have about 20mm more space on the inside for them to work. I haven't had any personal experience with that setup so I can't help you more.

there are several users on this board running those wheels. I would do 18x9.5 on all 4 corners though. and +40mm offset brings the wheels flush to the fenders and looks better. 275/35/18 on all 4
6LE sells these wheels and so does a vendor on corvetteforum as well

The deal I can get is for a specific set at a killer price, so I don't have a choice. I just want to make sure the offset isn't going to be a problem. After checking out the links posted by CP-Z28 above, I am a little concerned, but if these wheels with this offset are commonly used, then I might go for it. Will the 56 and 57 MM offsets push the wheels out too far?

that offset tucks the wheels in. so it will sit as far in as the stock wheels sat. the front wont be an issue. the rear might rub, but nothing a BFH or slight mod couldnt fix. hope its a great deal. +40mm offset looks much better. on that wheel 18" is ideal 17" doesnt show the spokes off as well.
