^^^ His question refers to offset though, not tire width.

Although both of these cars aren't my car, they do have the same offset, different wheels and width... Just to give you an idea what it looks like...

Z06 chrome wheels 53 mm 9.5/10.5 18s


Z07 chrome wheels 53 mm 9.5/11 18s, this one need BFH mod.

you dont have to do anything to make those wheels fit if you use 285s or lower unless your lowered some insane amount.. However, you can use a 1/4 in spacer in the rear to push them out more and match the outside of the fenders.. it looks better.

a 285 on an 11" wheel is just stupid
