I guess I jumped the gun.
I read the thread and saw Locobobs pics.
I see what you mean USAFPilot - It seems rear looked good but front sticking out could be an issue. Not only cosmetic but could also create problems for ball joints, in my opinion.

I like it If I could find a set cheap enough I think it would make a nice back up-change up

I don't know, I think the back is too much wheel..

i think 18s all the way around would be the max I would do

Bob,

So it looks like even with a 59mm offset, you could use a spacer of only 12-13mm? I would have thought you would need a 59 - 36 = 23mm spacer?
Keep in mind that the Z06 rims are 12in wide as opposed to 11in. A .5 in spacer provided enough clearance inboard but looked slightly tucked in outboard. A .6 or .7in spacer would likely be ideal for rear fitament.

You can buy aftermarket 56/57mm offset 18x9.5's for the front, they are a bit heavier than OEM though.

56/57 mm offset will tuck the wheel inside the fender for front?

Correct. The factory front offset was 56mm.
