At the closest point how much space to you have between the rear caliper and wheel? Im going to run 305's so if i can pull the wheels in another 2mm that would help.

As far as space from the inside of the rear spokes to the rear caliper, there is about 1/4 inch. You'd have a couple mm's to move the rim inwards. It's pretty tight though!

ETA: I thought you meant front...and there is little room from the edge of the caliper to the inner barrel.

Alright guys,
I was looking into this topic as well and this is what I have been told by the manufacturer for the C5 Z06:
Front: 19*9 +55 Offset, best tire size 275/30/19
Rear: 20*11 +72 Offset, best tire size 305/25/20
These would be the semi concave tires incl. the C6 Z06 Bigbrake clearance.
Can anybody confirm these dimensions?
Thank you!

DocZ here stopped carrying them for C5's, but Modbargains carries them, they quoted me 10 weeks to get them in the 18/19 size I want for my Z, so I'll have to pass for now. But man, they look good. I'll do Gloss Black on my MY...

yeah I am curious too, why would you go with the 19/20 combo? are tires cheaper somehow? I am seriously considering this wheel but was going to go with the 18/19 combo that black out has in his avatar. I also have full brake ducting that i know clears 18" fronts and I am not sure about 19" fronts... I do like the idea of the wheel filling the well better with 19/20 setup as I am not lowered on anything but stock hardware.

PICS please when you get em....
MY only issue would be that I have the TPE fenders and am running 345's on my HRE 19X11.5.....
What do you think JB...? Can I make em work?

Can't beat 'em IMO...given the look, weight, quality for the price.I don't know bud - contact Peter at Forgestar to find out what they recommend for sizes and offsets. I would think they can make something that works!
