Default C6 Z06 Rims?

Hey,
I've been looking at the Y2k and TT2's for quite some time now and I REALLY like the way the c6 z06 rims look. Will they fit if I get a set?
Offset 18x9.5 +57mm
Offset 19x11 +65mm

Will they fit a 345 tire on there? I see the Z06 comes with a 345/40/19 out back, now THAT'S some meat... will that look retarded on the back? I know the 315's stick out a bit but.... opinions please. If someone could also photoshop some onto a black TA for me I'd appreciate it very much.

I was looking more for if 345's would even fit or if they would look silly. Otherwise I'd just get 18's all the way around with a 9.5 up front and a 11 out back.

19 inch C6 rims wont fit the car unless you do the BFH and roll the fenders.

I thought you need an 11 inch to fit a 315... I wanna see these rims in person, I hope they are like the 03-04 cobra rims and the center is "pushed in" a bit and the spokes are at a little slope.

315/30/18 will fit on a 18x10.5 wheel. Due to the corvette offset, I had to run a small spacer to run them on my camaro (even w/ bfh, grinding, and fender rolling). Run ARP wheel studs if you do anything agressive with spacers on the back. Those wheels are now on my corvette so it ended up not mattering.

On a side note, does anyone know if the 19x12s w/ 345s will fit on a c5?
