Default Help please! Will this setup protrude from the body?

I plan on purchasing this wheel set.

http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...Wheels-Black_7

I have a question before I purchase though. I live in germany and the laws are very strict. I notice these wheels are slightly wider than the factory ones. I have a 99 C5 corvette and I plan on mounting 295's on the rear wheels and 265's on the front wheels. Will this setup protrude from the body at all? If they do it will not pass inspection and I will be screwed. Also do these wheels require any kind of special spacers? And finally, will they accept the tire pressure sensors for the Corvette. I already contacted the company with the same questions, still waiting for a response. Maybe someone on here has some advice or insight/experience with these wheels are a similar setup. Thank you for your time.

They will fit your vehicle and not protrude past the body providing your car is stock. also your factory sensors will work in our wheels.
