Zr1 replica wheels

I plan to buy ZR1 replica wheels for my 99 TA. I am looking at the gloss black set for $899 from West Coast Corvette. 8X8.5 and 19X10. Will these fit the TA?

Correction 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 for $799. The ad reads "Exact reproduction of style and offsets to the GM Corvette wheel"

If I were u, I'd stay away from the 8.5" wide wheels. I had some C6 chrome replicas with 18"x8.5" in the front and they looked waaaay to tucked (sunken) in. Check out OE Wheels, I think they're a sponsor on here, they should be about that same price if not cheaper. Plus they probably will carry the 9.5" width for the front in that size, which is ideal IMO.

I've been reading that 18x9.5 is the best looking size for the front C6ZR1 replica wheels. Can I get away with 18x10.5 for the rear wheels? If so, what would be the best tire sizes for the 18x9.5/18x10.5 set up?

Def. go wider in the back(minimum 10.5"), you will be much happier in the long run.

I spoke to a rep at OE Wheels today. He told me the widest 18" rim for the black ZR1 replica wheels is 18x9.5. So, I would have to try a 19x10.5" if I want the 10.5 width. I think TA's has more room in the rear wheel wells than the Camaros. Is anyone running a 19x10.5" on a TA? If so, what tire size?
