added some 325/30-19 tires to the rear.

To take care of the slight rub on the inside I put these on. They were from my old 3rd gen fbody trans am. Factory gm 1/8" thick steel spacers. We're put on the rear with drum brakes to help clear the wheels.

Wheel diameter – 19”
Wheel offset – 59mm
Tire size -325/30-19
Stock/lowered – stock height
Does it rub? If so, no
Use spacers? If so, what thickness – yes. Added 1/8” to stop the rubbing.
Do they stick out past the fender? If so, how much – about 1”
What camber setting do you have in the rear - -0.25*

I think on the C5 Z06 I would have issues with the rear tires rubbing on the brake air ducts. The stock rear wheels/tires just barely clear them as it is.

But I guess I could just pull out the air ducts, if necessary. It's not like I really need them for how I drive the car. I really would like to put larger tires on that are runflats, perhaps just going with C6 Z06 wheels and tires might be the easiest solution if they would fit without clearance issues.

Yes they would hit the brake ducts. If your car is lowered, the fender will hit on a bump. I raised my car back to stock height. I have a thread going on corvetteforum with other that have 12" wide wheels on their car. http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...only-pics.html

If you want them to fit under stock fenders, you could always minitub the car. Or if you so inclined, do flared fenders. Cheaper to minitub.
