Hey everyone,

I am looking for a new set of wheels (preferably the Y2K or Z06). I have been looking around and notice that there is a susbtantial varaition in the width of the rear wheels for the vettes. So, my question is, what is the biggest width, diameter, etc. that I can go? (ie. 9.5, 10, 10.5, etc in the back for width) And what offset do I need?

Thanks for the help

I am running factory C5 Z06 17x9.5 all around, with 275/40ZR17 tires. The fronts are about as wide as can be, they are barely scuffing the fenderwell plastic. The back has alot of room.

Thanks a lot everyone.

No mods needed so far, just threw them on.

I just ordered a set of 15x10 Weld Prostars with a 325/50/15 Nitto drag radial.

Very cool, I have the BF Goodrich drag radials on my car right now and they are great! I am sure you'll enjoy yours

You were able to fit 11 inches in the back? Was this with or without rolling the fenders?

an 11 inch rear is very common on a 4th gen. i rolled the lips. may have been able to get by w/o doing it...

the hardest thing abotu rolling the lip was having to take off all the wheels lol
