zo6 chromes I am looking at some chrome z06 wheels -- 18x9.5 out back, 17x9.5 out front. I read the "does this fit thread" and found offsets that would fit, but all the ad says about the wheels is that they are the factory offset of z06 wheels. Will they fit?

I believe the factory Z06 offset is the same as a C5 offset, but many aftermarket Z06 wheels have a different offset than the factory wheel. I just sold a set of chrome OE Concept Z06 wheels to someone with a Trans Am. The offset was great on there, but they sat under my car too far.

If you are going to buy to buy after market ZO6 wheels not OEM's then I would try to avoid the factory offset. I don't know it off the top of my head but it is not optimle. I know on 18's the best offset is 53mm if you can find them. I'm running 56mm now. They look great in the front but in the rear I'm going to add spacer's to set them out more. But that's just because I'm picky.

Yes. Get 18x10.5/18x9.5 with a 56MM offset. I have a TA and I bought the 17/18 combo with a 56MM offset. I would definitely like to have 18's up front, but I don't have the money for them and they don't look bad at all on there.
