Default C5 18" front 19" rear wheel users come in please!

Hey guys I need some help.
I have a 1999 C5 coupe with chrome wagon wheels.

I want to go +1 and go with 18" fronts and 19" rear wheels.

I want to make sure I get the right offset and rim width sizes.

I would like to keep the tires from sticking out.

Can you please post a picture of your set up and include the wheel width and offset you are running.If you are using spacers please indicate what size.

Also please post what size tires you are running.

Thanks a bunch

I've got stock 05 C6 wheels and work great

245/40/18 Fronts
285/35/19 Rears

I'm running a 1/8" spacer in the rear just to add some space between the inner sidewall of tire vs. inner wheel well

No pics yet, but i'll see what i can do.

Oh btw, when i was doing this and wanted research about this idea, i searched for C6 on a C5 wheels and alot of guys have pics of there cars and spacer ideas

I bought an 02 ZO6 a couple of months ago that has 18" & 19" chrome ZO6 Motorsport wheels on it. I'm pretty sure they are 18x9.5" & 19x11" with 265-35-18"s & 285-35-19"s. I will take some pics for you, they dont stick out at all. I do not know the offsets right off hand.

I may be selling these wheels here very shortly. I'm just not a big fan of the rivets on the ZO6 Motorsport wheels. I just bought a set of 2008 Forged 5 spoke Q9V 'Gumby" wheels that I am going to put on my car. I am going to build the correct spacer to make the rear offset work correctly.
