Default C6 ZO6 Replicas, which to get?

What to get?

17X8.5 5-120.65 49HS $152.00
17X8.5 5-120.65 49C $213.00
18X9.5 5-120.65 40HS
18X9.5 5-120.65 50HS
18X9.5 5-120.65 40C
18X9.5 5-120.65 50C
19X10 5-120.65 56HS
19X10 5-120.65 79HS
19X10 5-120.65 56C
19X10 5-120.65 79C
19X12 5-120.65 59HS
19X12 5-120.65 59C

What do you guys think? The last two digits are the back spacing.

I would love the look of the C6's deep rear wheels but I'm not too sure that 19x12s would fit! They would also probably look really big and too tall on a stock height SS.

I'm thinking 18x9.5 all four corners but I'm worried they won't be deep enough? Can I get 18X9.5 5-120.65 40C for the front 18X9.5 5-120.65 50C for the rear, will that add more depth to rears?

Thanks Guys, give me your input!

i think you need the 50 offset all around for the 18x9.5

18*9.5 are 18*9.5. The offset won't make them any deeper. It simply either pushes the tire inwards or outwards. The 40off set will push the rims out some. The 50 will not be out as much. the 56offset is close to the factory off set. And the 79 will push them really deep. Probally too much, without adding spacers.

I just did some 18*9.5C6 with a 58mm offset. They will hit the bump stops unless you mount by jacking them up from the axel. Or you can cut back(trim) the bump stop.

Or you could run the 50offset. That may let them clear without doing anything to the bump stops.
