C6 corvette rims and tires

heres the thing. i got some actual corvette rims and tires that came off a 07 corvette for 800, with goodyear eagle f1 tires, new tread. the thing is i cant seem to fit the rear wheels on. the left needs about 1" more clearance and the right needs 1/4" clearance to fit well. obviously somethings wrong here, and i need to find the problem. but the question is if anyone put the 19x10 i think in the rear did you have any problems fitting it or did it go on without problems? also i may have to cut a piece of the inside fenderwall to fit it perfect. the pic is from a camera phone so dont mind the blur

I'm not entirely sure but I think the C6 wheels that people run on f-bodies had a different offset. You need to specify what you mean by clearance- inside, fender ect...

i thought the only known clearance issues on the fbodys was when you went above m a 10" wheel/tire like the 11" zr1's.. i understand offset but i would imagine that most (if not all) of the c6 wheels would inevitably be the same (at least very similar) offsets

OEM Corvette wheels have a different offset than the replicas that most people have on their F-bods. You will need spacers for them to fit correctly. Either that, or you could sell those for a nice chunk of money and but some replica wheels with the proper offset.
