Default Corvette C6 Wheels

Sorry first off if this is been asked of before...
Has anyone tried and have pics of Corvette C6 Wheels 18X9.5 front 19X10 rear on one of are cars, I would think the 19X10 might be too big for the rear of the car but not sure is why I ask?
Would the fronts 18X9.5 all the way around work better for more than the obvious reason tire rotation? Not sure on the wheel offset specs but will these wheels work?

I just put a set of 18 x 9.5's with 285/35's all around. The wheels have a 56mm positive offset. The fronts fit fine, no issues, the rears were running real close to the bumpstops so I trimmed about a quarter inch off them and smoothed them with a die drinder to make a freindly surface.

Fronts work all the way around (18"), the backs are too large as said. Just buy 4 fronts and go that route.

OEM C6 corvette wheels are 18 x 8.5 and 19 x 10. Fronts fit, rears need a 1.25" adapter to keep from rubbing the inner fenderwell due to the vettes 79mm offset.
Do a search for F-body with C6 wheels.
Here's a set for $425!
