Will they fit?

Hello all, I found some nice c6 z06 rims (17x9.5) that I would like to buy in the future. I read that the tires needed would be 275 40 r17's. Will this setup fit all around under my stock 1991 rs? Any problems?

C6 Z06 wheels are 18x9.5" on the front and 19x12" on the rear. So what you are looking at are not OEM C6 Z06 wheels. For that reason, we don't know what the backspace is and therefore cannot tell if they fit or not. Need more information on the wheels you are looking at.

Exactly...

But 9.5" wheels fit no problem in the front with spacers. 12" in the rear is either going to stick out or need minitubs to fit properly - and you will probably need spacers too.

Thanks for the replies, I was looking at this set of wheels here: http://oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/Whee...amaro_4/C6-Z06
According to this site all 4 wheels are 17x9.5. What kind/size of spacers should I look to purchase as well?
