Wheel Size Question
Looking into buying some wheels, they are 245/40/18 up front and 285/35/19 in the rear. Is it safe to assume these will fit my 97 Z without rubbing the wheel wells or am I gonna have to break out the BFH ?? Car is at stock ride height w/ stock rear end.
Thanks!

Ooo dang my bad haha they are OEM C6 2006 wheels, the wide 5 spoke ones
I read the rear would need a 1-1/4" spacer b/c they have a deep offset
One person used 1" spacer upfront and another didn't, would that be for looks then?
There was also a complaint that one guys ABS kicks on everytime he hits the brakes??? maybe its just him
Picture reference

Found some 1-1/4" wheel spacers on ebay, they are billet aluminum with grade 8 hardware. For the price it seems worth it, or should i be worried that ill rip the wheels right off??
also 5x4.75 is the correct bolt pattern right?
Thanks
