Default c6 19 backspacing

I found these on ebay and I know that the add says they will fix a 1999 fbody but what will need to be done. also what size tire could I fix on the back. I have done the bfh cause I had 18 with 315 on the back a year ago. Thanks any info would be great.

theyll fit if you already have some BFH done. it says the 19x10s have a +68mm offset. my 18x10.5s have a +58mm offset the wheel is 1/2" wider but has 10mm less offset. I, however am running a spacer, which puts my wheel at about +50mm. The 19s should fit, worst case scenario would be you need a small spacer.

That size is perfect for the rear I kinda wish I woulda gone with those instead of 285/35 for my 19x10 wheel. The front wheels on my car are 275 on a 18x9.5 wheel. Check out my fquick for more pics of the tires and wheels.

19x10 rear wheel with 285/35 tire

So you want my combo huh?

Rear needs 1/2" spacer with longer studs, BFH
Front is perfect

Rear Tire 285/35/R19
Front Tire 275/40/R18

Be very carefull about the tire size as it does not take muck to throw off the ABS and TC.

I ran a 275/35/19 KDW on the rears and a 255/45/18 on the front. In the rear well i had to hammer in the the well just slightly because i was on Eibach Sportline Lowering springs. But with longer knurls and a spacer it shouldnt be a problem.

*Note: Discount Tire screwed up my order so the front wheel profile was taller than i wanted. They told me the could get me the tires but they were 8 months backorder at the time.

Do you see my sig? Trust me a 1" spacer on these wheels will cause a slight rub on the passenger side fender.
68mm-25.4mm= 42.6mm on a 10" rim. Works great if you don't lower it.
