Will these rims fit? what tire size? I am going to purchase some c6 zo6 replica wheels soon. I am not sure if the rears will fit. the sizes are 18x10.5 rear and 18x9.5 on the front. My aftermarket rear end is narrowed 1 inch. here is the link of the rims :

You should be fine. I run 19" Avant Garde rims. 19x9.5 in front and 19x10.5's in the rear. I have 255's up front and 285's on the rear. They fit great, and dont rub. You should be good to go with that setup

For the best fitment with the rear-end narrowed 1" per side you NEED to get a set of Either H & R or Eibach 30mm hub spacers, that'll give you basically the same wheel well clearance as a stock width rear-end with 18 x 10.5 with a +51mm to +52mm offset. For rear tires either a 295/35/18 or a 315/30/18. With a 295/35/18 tire you'll have better wheel well clearance, lower cost, and a better/wider selection of tire to choose from. With the 313/30/18s less clearance, higher cost, smaller selection of tires to choose from, but they are wider. Up front run a set of 275/35/18 or 285/35 18s on the 18 x 9.5s, 275s have a better selection of tires to choose from and usually coat a little less.

They won't fit without hub spacers,30mm (1.18" ) hub spacer is perfect

Okay, my bad! 
Get a set of H & R 20mm(3/4") hub spacers(#4085704, about $143 a pair ). FYI, with the thinner 20mm spacers you might need to cut/grind down the wheel studs flush with the hub spacers to prevent any contact with the rear of the wheels hub mount area. That's only IF there's no cavities on the back side of the wheel hub mount surface to allow room for the axle mounted wheel studs.. Your effective wheel offset with the 20mm hub spacers would be right about +50 offset.
Furthermore, you won't have to worry about any issues with wheel/tire balance or weakening of the wheel studs with using the spacers.

I ended up orgering some spacer from jegs that re 7/16 thick. I also ordered some nitto 555r 305/35/18 for rear and nitto 555 285/35/18 for the front. I am just a little nervous about the rear fitting! Remember my rear has been narrowed 1/2 inch on each side. Which the 7/16 spacers take up dang near all of that.
