C6 z06 deep dish 18's or 19's in rear??? I'm about to buy a set of oewheels c6z06 deep dish wheels in chrome for my red 99 ss and i'm stuck between the 18x10.5's or the 19x10's in the rear. What do you guys think?
EDIT: Car is a dd. 6 speed with an ls6 long tubes w/ y pipe and a tune. waiting for strano springs to come in. have sfc's adjustable panhard rod and adjustable lower control arms. its got the heater hose mod on the rear right now.
the tires i'm finding that seem to be most reasonable are 295/35zr19-18's. I can't find street tires in 18's that wide with a taller sidewall to help fill the space.
Thanks!!

That, combined with the added cost of tires are loss of driving comfort with 19's, I say no bigger than 18's in the rear. I would just go 18x10.5 all around. You can still rotate tires, which is a huge thing to consider if the car is your daily. Also, the same thing goes with staggered setups as with 19's in the rear, few pull it off cleanly.

Those are some of my concerns. Tires are a lot more expensive on the 19's but the sidewalls on the tires i'm finding are all 35's cant find a reasonably priced street tire for an 18 with a taller sidewall to help fill the space. i'm afraid running the same size all the way around would cause some issues up front with lowering it.

i have 18 up front with 19 in the rear, looks clean. def go with 19 in the rears. with 295 youll be fine, if anything you might need a spacer for the rears i think i have 5/16 spacers but i have 305 in the rears, so you should be fine.
