C6 Rims
Well I myself do not have experience with O.E. C6 wheels. I have factory reproductions which fit better. I also have 18s on all four corners. I'm surprised the guys that do have these wheels havnt chimed in yet. theres quite a few i think.
I would imagine it might handle a little odd. To match the diameter of the rear wheel/tire you need to run a larger profile tire up front. Making the front tires a little softer. I'm not really sure how it would effect handling though.

i had 17's up front and 18's in the rear and just ran a bigger profile tire up front to match the diameter of the rears. didn't notice any bad handling?? now i have 18's all round. just think they look better with the same size

I decided against running the 18's up front and 19's in the rear and I'm in the process of putting everything together to run the 19x10's all the way around w/275/30/19 tires. The tires are now here and I traded (actually sold then bought) the front 18's for a set of rear 19's, so I just need to have evertying mounted and balanced and installed.
However, IF I were going to run the stock C6 18/19 combo, I'd run 255/35/18's on the front and then 275/30/19 or 285/30/19 on the rear.

I have a pair of oem ones with 18 in front and 19 in rear. I used a 1.25 adapter on the rear and didnt have to do any kind of banging or anything else to get hem to fit.
I think they looked good on my car and I got lots of compliments from people on them. I am looking to get rid of them and get something smaller and wider for the rear so I can get dr's on my car for better traction.

After seeing pics of the staggered sizes, I decided I didn't want to go with smaller rims in the front than the rear. The Corvette's wheel wells are smaller in the front to keep the combo looking right, but the F-Body's wheel wells are closer in size and it just looks odd to me to have staggered rims on an F-Body. Since the front 18's are only 8.5" wide, I opted to go with the 19x10's all the way around. Yes I do have to run adapters to make them fit.

Oddly enough, the 18's seem to sell for a little more than the 19's because some guys like to put drag radials on the 18's, but I'm not sure what size DR they use on an 8.5" rim...
