Default C6 wheels for t/a

I found some Chrome C6 wheels 18x8.5 and 19x10 from house of wheels and tko performance... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=974517 ...and I am lowered with eibach sportlines and was wondering if these would rub alot wiht the 19's and was wondering what would work to make it fit. I think the offset is 56 for the front and 65mm for the rear.

Dont I need spacers and to roll the rear fender or somethin..how do you do that???

Anyone have pics of a t/a with c6's ive seen the camaros already.

hmm im intrested in those wheels as well, good thread to see if they'll fit or not..

i am not lowered, and wonder if those would work the way they come or what would be needed to make fit, and if u dont mind i was also wondering about 17x9.5 and 17x 11 z06 rims.

Bad offsets. 56mm will work, but will look tucked in. 65mm will rub the inner wheel well very bad and need spacers and longer wheel studs.

well I have a pro fab tubular k member and it seemed to tuck in my front wheels a little bit. So All I need for the rear wheels are spacers and longer wheels studs? Where can I get those and will they not rub since the car is lowered with sportlines?
