Default Z06 18inch rim on a 2009 ctsv front

Has anyone tried to fit a C5 or C6 Z06 18 or 19 rim on a 2009 ctsv front? If so, what was the outcome?

True... The v2 wheels are 5 lug and if I'm not mistaken aren't they the same wheels on the g8 gxp.

what size caliper and rotors do the v2's have? Can we swap v1 and v2 hubs and rotors while keeping the calipers?


Id really like to get a 5 lug setup on mine, and i really dont want to do the C5 conversion.

nevermind...

Rotors:
04-07
front 14"
rear 14.4"

This doesnt sound right though... usually the fronts are larger. Weird.

09
front 14.57"
rear 14.37"

Its right. The V1's rears are slightly bigger to accommodate the drum parking brake. I'm not sure what they did on the rear of the V'2. I'd still like to see if you could shove a V'2 front disk up there. I'd almost bet it would go. I'd really like to do a complete caliper/hub wheel swap.

Also, the wheels off the G8 GXP are the same style but the V's are wider. A lot of the GXP guys are buying up the V rims because they look stock but are wider all the way around if I'm not mistaken.

The G8 GXP and the V wheels are not the same exact style, although, when they first came out, that was my first reaction. They look seemingly identical, but there is a difference...
