56 mm fits but IMHO is too much for an f-body. 50 mm to 45 mm would be better.

If you can see this, but this is 56mm offset. I think its looks pretty damn good to me.

I agree with Andy, the 56 mm just tucks the wheels in too far to where it looks like you are running a spare tire in the rear from some angles. 45mm would be way better.

Many of the 56 mm Z06 wheel owners opt to install wheel spacers and longer wheel studs just to push the wheels out further. Why go through all the hassle?

Where can you get Black Z06 Motorsports in smaller offsets? I've tried Tire Rack, Discount Tire, even some corvette websites. Only offset I can find is 58mm. Can't Find ANY Smaller Ones

I have 56mm Z06s. The front looks good, but I do wish the rears would stick out a little farther. Sometimes they look OK to me, but other times I don't like it.
