Wheel/tire size

Im looking at going with the chrome corvette C6 rims for my black t/a ws6. I am thinking 17" in the front, 18" in the back. Most likely BF in the front and BF drag radials in the back. Looking at 9.5" wide rim in the front and as wide as I can go in the back.
What is the widest wheel I can fit in the back without problems or customizing?
What size tire to fit these would work best?
Thanks

I dont think the C6 replicas come that wide in the back. I think 9.5" is the widest they come. With that being said a 285 is the widest you can go on a 9.5" wheel.

If thats the case, I may think about going with a different wheel. What is the largest width of wheel and tire to fit without much of an issue?

you can get the C6 wheels in a 18x10.5 from Tomzwheels. A 295 tire would be perfect to avoid much, if any, BFH. please dont go 17 and 18s

Yeah I have decided to go 18" all around. Im going to look at those 10.5". Would I need to roll the fenders for this? Thinking 18x9 in front and 18x10.5 in back

you should not have to roll the fenders if you get the 58mm offset. I think thats the only offset they offer for that wheel anyway

i dont know if thats true or not, i have a pair of replicas on the back and i believe there not 9.5 and i have 295s on them, how can i tell how wide they are without taking off a tire?
