Default 18x10.5 C6 wheels, do they clear the bumpstops?

I was looking at replacing my black ZR1 wheels with a set of black C6 wheels. I am having a tough time finding a decent 315 tire for the 17x11 ZR1 rims. They also hang up on the bumpstops when I put the car on my lift. If I went with the 18x10.5 c6 rims and 305 tire will they clear the bumpstops? I know they fit, but not if they clear the stops at full droop?

I have 18x10.5 C5 Z06 with 53 mm offsets and run 295/35/18's on the rear and had no problem at all clearing the bumpstops. On a side note I have never taken the wheels off at full droop so I am not 100% sure that they will clear in that position. I have to use the old jack under the rear end to change my tires.

Depnds on what offset you get. I have 18x10.5" C6s. the offset of the wheel is +58mm. I am running a 5/16" spacer (which puts the wheel at +50mm and the wheels JUST clear the bumpstops. I'm talking millimeters. I'm also running a 295-35 BFG tire.
