Hello,
As the title states, what is the widest tire I can fit on stock wheels on a 16 z06?

Pretty much it was on our GR7 wheels that are the same as factory spec. We had some rub in the rear, but I don't remember any up front. The primary reason for rub in the rear was that the car had coilovers and drop spindles.

would you happen to have a link to your wheels, or know the offsets on them so I could compare to the stock wheels?

From what Ive read they will rub, which is why i dropped down to 19s in the rear to fit 345.

I've read this will work. A 345/30-20 will rub. The 345 is only about 1/16" larger diameter and .2" wider per side than a 335, in the 25 series.

Summarized: Some stretch is good, pinched is bad.
