Default having trouble finding rim info

ok so i want to get either z06 c6 or bullet replica rims but i was reading that there is some problem with z06/c6 rims fitting, I kinda want 17 in the front and 18 in the back but idk what diameter would be good since i also want wider in the back than the front. should i go 8.5 in the front and 9 in the back?

On a side note i cant decide if i want black or chrome rims but the z06s also come in hyper silver dark. my car is white and i plan on doing red calipers andred Z28 emblems

heres what im looking at:
Option A


Option B


Option C (would take some saving but i could buy one a month and have all four in a few months lol)


Option D:



Option E

ok thanks guys, my gf said A too so in my eyes thats 2 for A one for B. I just like these rims equally and cant decide!

So the site i found doesnt have anything other than 17 8.5 and 18 8.5 so in that case should i just go 17 front and back or would 18s still look killer even if they arent wider?

I said option C because I love the look of a C5 Z06 wheel, and chrome FTW!

I don't belive that you can't find those wheels in a 17x9.5...look harder!

but i found a killer price!! what are the stock widths front and back?

Edit: oh hey... look what i found lol. Problem with those ones is that they are 215 for 17X9.5 while the 8.5s are 205. How did you get yours to fit? were they direct bolt ons no changes made?

If you can bear not to have the corvette symbol(since you drive a Camaro) go to http://www.wheelreplicas.com/z06_moto.html they are 460 for all four with the staggered diameters and only 400 for all 17x9's. I have the ones without rivets on my car and I love them. Mine are also polished not chrome.

Spartan, I just put them on, no changes necessary. Mine are made by O.E. Concepts. Stock size for a Z28 is 16x8.5, the SS from 96 up had 17x9.5 ZR1 wheels all around.

the flag symbol isnt limited to corvette its thechevy performance symbolbut its been on the vette since the beginning so it gets associated with the corvette.

BUT im stuck on A or C because idk what the silver will look like and i like chrome but they are spendy both have their pros and cons but they look better to me than the other ones and ive gotten better responses for A.
