Default another wheel adapter question

so i moved on to some new 18" C6 Z06 wheels with a 9.5 in the front but 10.5 with a a 56mm offset in the rear. since i figured they would rub am i safe using the .75" adapter or should i move up to the 1" adapter? or anything else that you recommend. thanks in advance.

im trying to avoid banging out the fender well also. i dont know the factory offset on a stock wheel so i dont know how far from the center of the wheels it will stick out on both sides. if its going to rub the fender well i know i need an adapter i just dont want to get too large of one and look like a good ole boy with my tires sticking way out past the fender
