Default offset question

yes i know there r stikys and i have been readn and searchn all day.

i like the c6 rims.
i have a 98 z. stock ride height.
i am looking at the following sizes.
18x8.5+56mm offset front
19x9.5+63mm offset rear

18x8.5+56mm offset front
19x10+79mm offset rear
now.
i would like to run a 295 tire in the rear if possible.
i will settle for a 275 if i have to.
245 255 up front or even 275 should work. it's mostly the rear.
i'm pretty sure the 18 will fit
will the 19's?
i do not want to use a spacer. i'd rather pound the snot outta my inner fender well and cut some stuff.
thanx for readn and any help provided.

Well you better get to pounding. The rear offset will not fit unless you pound it, with either the 63 mm or 79 mm offset. The 79 mm offset will require a bunch of pounding, but in my opinion will not look good because it'll be too tucked into the car. The most positive recommended offset is 48 mm for 10 in rears. That'll put you at about 30 +mm of offset that you'll have to account for if you want to make them fit. That's about a 1 1/4" difference. But it's your car. The fronts should be fine.
