Default Wdest wheel on a c5 z06

Whats the widest rear wheel/tire combo i can fit without getting the wide body kit?

I want to get black c6 z06 wheels 18x9.5 up front and 19x 12 with 325s out back. Will these fit without me looking like a red neck cause the wheels stick out of the fender lol

MattZ28 ... I like that setup a lot.. Quick question for you if you don't mind. Are there any tint laws in FL? I'm considering picking orders to FL after my tour in Cuba.

Rear flared fenders (not a body kit) and you can put a 19x13 with a 345 under it.
