Default wheel questions

So ive finally got all the mechanical prblems wrong with my car fixed. And now I can get new wheels to replace my beat up ws6 wheels. My car is all stock, so wheels will definitely spruce up the look of my dd. So i know the lug diameter is 5x120.6, will wheels with a lug diameter of 5x120 fit fine? I'm not sure if the .6 will matter or not? My next question is tthat the wheels are 19x10 all around, will they rub at all? Especially since i plan on wrapping them in a 315-35-19 tire. Would i need any type of spacer? These questions probably been asked and answered before, but my cell phone isnt soo good at searching since it will force close itself. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would contact the manufacturer to see if thet are truly 5*120 and not 5*120.6. We have sold 19"s for the rear and they need a spacer, but the rim maker should be able to provide most of this info.

There's quite a few guys that are running wheels with the 5x120 offset on fbodies and Vettes. It's not really recommended, but it will work. I've been thinking about getting some wheels that are 5x120 also, because there's so many to choose from, and I want something a little different, that no one really has on a T/A. But, I'll most likely end up going with some OEWheels again because they have some great styles, and the pricing can't be beat.

I just spoke with the dealer, and here are the specs.

Front = 18x8.5"
Bolt Pattern = 5x120mm
Offset = 35mm
Hub Bore = 72.6mm

Rear = 19x10"
Bolt Pattern = 5x120mm
Offset = 37mm
Hub Bore = 72.6mm

They might end up poking out a little from the fenders or right flush with them.

So these wheels shouldd bee able to fit with out any modification to my fenders since my car is stock. what would be the widest tire I put on the 19x10? 295/35/19? Also would I need spacers or longer lug nuts?

There is no issue with the fronts but the rears maybe on the ragged edge of the outside of the wheel well. Worst case scenario is you'll have to roll the rear fender lips. No you won't need spacers but I would recommend a set of hubcentric rings when going with 5x120 bolt pattern wheels.
