C6 Rims!
Just picked these bad boys up for FREEE from my buddy. He got Z06 wheels for his corvette and has had these laying around for a few months now. Rears are 19inch and fronts are 18's. He misplaced the front tires but I should get those soon. 245/40-18 in the front and 285/35-19 in the back. They are really dusty and dirty in the pictures but I'm gonna polish them to a mirror and I'll post pics once I get my spacers and put em on.
Fronts:
One more:
There's a little bit of curb rash on the fronts but I'll get over it.
By the way the 16" American Racing IROCS I have on now will be for sale shortly if anyone is interested

IIRC, the rears will need like a 3.5 in spacer on a 3rdgen rear end and a 1.5 on a 4thgen. The off set on those are huge. Like 79mm.

Re: C6 Rims!
Yeah I've been seeing different sizes from multiple people who have them. Some say 2" all around is good some say 2 up front 2.25 in the rear. What I'm gonna do is raise the rear and take off one wheel then put the new one in place where I want it and measure the space back to the hub or whatever.

Re: C6 Rims!
Just measured, definitely 2 1/4 in the rear. 3.5 would be a ghetto booty sticking out way too far.
Here's a pic with the rear end raised and the wheel placed so that the tire lines up with with farthest sticking out portion of the fender. From the hub to where the wheel would make contact is precisely 2 1/4 inches. I can already tell the fender well will need to be persuaded inward towards the front so there's no rubbing.
