Well my wheels came in today and I was going to wait and do the 5 lug swap and put them on this weekend but.......I'm impatient.
Excuse the 4x4 look, ground controls are on the way.

The Wheels are Cray Spyder in 19x9 +50 and 19x10.5 +65
http://www.craycorvettewheels.com/
Other than the 5 lug swap I swapped out the trailing arms with a set of Creative steel trailing arms, installed ARP 2.5" Wheel studs all the way around and used a 10mm spacer behind each wheel. Which puts the correct offset to 19x9 +40 and 19x10.5 +55
The tires are Hankook V12 Evo2s 255/35/19 and 295/30/19 these are slightly smaller in diameter than the stock tires but there are plenty of tire choices in those sizes over the 295/35/19 size.

Here is a link to the spacers I'm using and yes they are hub-centric. Unfortunately the spacers take up the remaining space on the hub so you have to tighten the wheel slowly in a star pattern as the wheels are now lug centric. That was another reason I went with ARP wheel studs on all four hubs.

Once I lower the car and check my clearances I may go with these since they have a hub for the wheel to sit on and just knock out the studs. I just don't want the wheel poking out past the car, I believe that the top of the wheel shouldn't poke out past the fender.
