Welcome to the forum. You could check with Tire Rack. I'm not sure they still do but they used to be able to answer questions like that.

I would like to put C6 Grand Sport chrome star wheels 18 front 19 rear, and I’ve been researching setups and even looking at genuine BMW parts online for reference. What is the best way for the setup? 20mm rear wheel spacers maybe? And what sizes Michelin tires front and rear should I buy, and will this work?

Hello. You can use C6 Grand Sport wheels 18 front and 19 rear on your 2002 Corvette. Hub-centric spacers are recommended if needed, but 20 mm in the rear may cause rubbing, 5 to 10 mm is safer. Tire sizes: Front 275/35R18, Rear 305/30R19 or 315/30R19 depending on wheel width. Ensure proper torque, quality spacers, and get a professional alignment. This setup will work if installed carefully.
