I have a set, but they are not on the car yet. I think you will get the idea what they will look like.

Re: any pics of largest wheels to fit stock?

Just do a search, there are tons of threads. I personally think 17's look the best, maybe 18's but there are some people that pull off bigger wheels. I dont know his name but there is a black iroc with something like an 18 front 20 rear combo that looks pretty good.

Re: any pics of largest wheels to fit stock?

You'll have to have custom wheels made or do a lot of searching to find ones made to fit. Not many wheels offered in our offsets. Widest is probably x11 rear and x9.5 front.

Re: any pics of largest wheels to fit stock?

17x11's will fit the rear with some minor hammering, but like said above, they are hard to find in our offset. you would need sometihng like 7" of back spacing.

Re: any pics of largest wheels to fit stock?

I have seen a car with 18x11s on all corners, but he had 2 or 2.25 inch spacers IIRC.

Re: any pics of largest wheels to fit stock?

ive got vette 18 x 9.5 rears and the fronts are 17 x 8.5 using 2'' spacers all around.

only isue that i ran into was the spacers werent propperly milled in the center hub things so i had to procure additional 1/4 inch slip on spacers in the rear. no rubbing at all

the fronts.... same issue and had to get another 1/4'' spacer. slight and i mean SLIGHT rubbing when turning.

front tires are 275/40/17 and rears are 275/40/18

Re: any pics of largest wheels to fit stock?

i'm running factory C6 vette 18/19 combo. Fronts fit great with 1.7-2" spacer. rear needs a big spacer for stock rear end, something like a 2.5" should do with some wheel well hammering which only takes a minute or two to do.
