You'll need a 1.25" adapter/spacer on the rear 19x10's. The front 18x8.5's will fit, but the real problem is finding tire sizes to run the stock OEM C6 rims. To keep them from looking silly on an F-Body, the overall tire heights need to be within an inch of each other front to rear...that means the front sidewalls will be bigger on the front and to me that just looks odd. I tried this years ago and ended up going with the 19x10's all the way around with a 275/30/19 tire and 1.25" spacers on all 4 corners too. Worst ride, traction, and handling combo I've ever had on the car and I didn't keep them long. The C6 rim does look good on our cars, but my advice is to go aftermarket and get a set that's the same size all the way around that don't need spacers to work. I only paid $250 for my mint condition OEM C6 rim set, so I thought it was worth trying to make it work...but the good deal didn't really make up for all of the issues they created...

I did run these at one point too:

They’re available in black too:

275/35/18 tire on either will work. To be honest though, I always preferred the painted silver finish which I’ve never seen available in an aftermarket size to fit an F-body...

...not sure why the links aren’t working...they’re both C6 18x9.5” wheels. One in chrome, one in black. Search their website and you’ll find them...
