Just about any wheel could work but you would have to use spacers to clear the calipers unless you bought wheels with a custom offset or you went with Z06 wheels. But putting spacers on them would make them stick out farther. I have 19's on mine and had to use spacers to clear them. I should have got the brakes first then ordered my wheels and I wouldn't have to use them.

great thanks man! what offset are your wheels and what size spacers are you running? also what specs are your wheels if you dont mind me asking

The offset on the front is 57mm and the rear is 44mm. I know on the front I have a 1/2 inch spacer, I forget on the rear, I believe it is 5/8. You also would have to put on longer wheel studs. The wheels are 19x10 on the front and 19x11 on the rear. Hope that helps.

I used to work for a Chevy dealer, so I just bought them from there.

What kind of suspension setup do you have in front and rear?
