I felt like I should mention that I'm having a hard time finding a proper adapter for the rear rims. I like having the rims the same offset, but in retrospect I might have been better getting the +79 (vette) offset rims for the rear so I could get some more common 1.5" adapters. Right now I'm looking at getting longer studs which I may have to cut down to use with my closed end lugnuts and a 3/4" spacer. I may go with a 1/2" spacer or something in between, but I'd prefer an adaptor.

i was gonna do that too. So i bought a 1" spacer for the front and a 1.25" spacers for the rear. But now i bought a set like yours with the 56mm offset. i sold my 18/19 combo along with the 1.25" spacers for the rear and now have a 1" brand new, never mounted, spacers i'm not using. But thats probably more than you are looking for. if not let me know i'm gonna put them up for $50 shipped.
trying to find a deal on rires thought best i've found online is 700 shipped for 4 285/35 19 kumho's.

Why such a tall tire? I'm running 285/30/19 on the front and 295/30/19 rear. I got a good deal on used tires. Make sure your tires are the extra-load ones as they will take a beating while still riding good.

not a big fan of 30 series tires. besides the first set of stock C6 wheels i had came with these tires stock and they fit fine on front and back. Plus they are ALOT cheaper than the sizes you got. And I couldn't find any used tires with atleast 50% tread for a good price.

Seeing as how I've had these for over a year now, it's not likely. I did consider 18's as well as a combo of 18 and 19, but after doing some Photoshops, I preferred the 19x10's all around. I've always wanted a rim with five slim tapered spokes. Plus the chrome complements a black car very well.
