C5 Z06 or C6 Z06 wheels, there's a big difference between the two, both of which are really wide such that steering arm interference and turn radius could be issues depending on your setup. In any event, both of the Z06 wheels are relatively high offset designs and will require an bolt-on type spacer/adapter to mount to a first-gen F-body up front, and either something similar in the rear or a wider rear axle assembly. There's no way to run the 19x12 in the back without at least mini-tubbing the car, and the 10.5" C5 Z06 option is pretty well over the max of what the stock wheel tubs will generally allow, which is a 9.5" wheel and 275 or maybe 285 tire if you're BS is spot on.

C5 Z06 front wheel = 17x9.5, 54mm offset (~7.38" BS)
C5 Z06 rear wheel = 18x10.5, 58mm offset (~8.03" BS)

C6 Z06 front wheel = 18x9.5, 40mm offset (~6.82" BS)
C6 Z06 rear wheel = 19x12, 59mm offset (~8.82" BS)

Here's where I got the wheel info...link.
