Totally depends on which offset rims you want to order since they make the Z06 replicas both in low offset 30mm and high offset 50mm.

I am not sure which number pushes the wheel out, but I bought a set of ZR1's and with my 2" spacers on the front, the inner lip of the wheel rubbed my tie rod end, so I had to clearance the tie rods a bit.
With the ZR1's my brother had, they stuck out a little more on my car and had no rubbing issues.

These are my brothers,


and these are the ones I bought,


My car has an LS1 rear end on the car, but you can see how the black ones line up to the fender and the silver ones are tucked in slightly.

I get mild rubbing when turning almost full lock, it's not that bad.
With my new C5 wheels, 17x8.5 with 245/45/17 up front, I have no rub whatsoever from lock to lock.
