Default 2012 ZR1 wheels

I have a 2000 Camaro that Im looking to put some ZR1 rims off a 12' on my car. The rims are 20x12 59mm offset in the rear and 19x10 40mm offset in the front. I know the bolt pattern is the same, but will a 12" rim be to wide for the rear? Im not worried about having to stretch fenders and doing a little bending here and there. I gues my question here is what problems will I run into with this setup?

When the ZR1 first showed up, GMPP built a 4th gen Camaro with an LS9 and stock ZR1 wheels. However they used the 19in fronts on all four corners. I doubt you're gonna fit that rear wheel and tire without some serious finessing or cutting, especially if you're any lower than stock...and leaving it stock height would look like crap with those wheels.

There are a few folks on here who run them. It takes massaging. An adjustable PHB, BFH, and possibly fender rolling. I think maybe even a small spacer might be needed. Other things that might be needed - tubular LCAs and cutting of the bumpstops.

But most just bolt and beat the **** out of their car until it fits.

The major problem is the tire height. Once you go to a 19x12 with a 325 or 335 rear tire, you're up over 27" in height. That's where a lot of issues come into play.

I have 19x12 grandsports and I needed to hammer the inner fender quite a bit and get offset tubular control arms to get them to fit
