Default Great deal but will they fit an fbody?

I know the listing reads they're specifically for c6 vettes but I've seen a lot of people putting oem c6 z06 wheels on f bodies as well as spyders, grand sports, etc. The sizes/offsets on these are listed as 18x10 +55 and 19x11 +69. Would love to pull the trigger but would hate to spend $2500 on wheels and tires just to find out they don't fit. I'd like to go with a 295/35/18 up front and 325/30/19 out back if that helps at all. I'm aware that a small spacer might be necessary for the rears but was hoping someone might have more insight on this. Any advice you guys would have would be great. I appreciate er, here's the link will definitely be posting pix if I can figure out a way to make these work, they also have the same listing but for 19x12's

You should be ok up front but running those tires in the rear your for sure going to need some spacing and some good hammer modding, also you might have to relocate your bump stops. I ran C5 wheels in the rear with 295 tires and still had to do some hammer modding, trim the bump stops and use spacers.

Also you can checkout the offset calculator here and measure your current clearances and compare them to what they would be with the new ones. https://ls1tech.com/forums/tire_rim_calculator.php

If your car is lowered you might want to get an adjustable PHB to center the rear end a little better for more even clearances.

Definitely will need a spacer in the rear. Our offsets are around 40-50, but the vette rear is about 70 which is too much and will sit in too far.
