Hey guys...

I've got an opportunity to get a set of "Stock GM" ZO6 Wheels for my 99 F-body... I know Replicas might fit better, but I would like to run these...

The size is the stock ZO6 wheels, which I am not 100% sure on, also dont know the offset, I believe the fronts are 18x9.5 and the rears are 19x12's...

Okay.. So here's what I’m looking at.
Fronts = 18x?? with tires 275/35ZR18
Rear = 19x12 I believe with Tires 325/30ZR19

Now before people can say these rims won’t fit, consider the following... My old rims were stock ZR1 SS Wheels in the front, and the ZR1 17x11 rears with 315/35/17 Nitto Drags. I ran these for years without fitment issues.. I have also fit some 335/35/17 Mich Pilot Tires on the rear, got these fit fine, with an occasional rub on the inner fender, didn’t do enough of the BFH mod..

But, here is a pic of them on..





The old Pilot Tires were 335/35/17's or 26.2" Tall
The Tires on the ZO6 Wheels are 325/30/19's or 26.7" Tall


I am prepared to do the B. F. H. Mod a little more, and to run a some spacers for the rears which I'm sure I need to do. And to also roll the fenders a little to get these to fit..

But my question is, has anyone fit these on their F-Body? What does it take? I would like to get this to happen...

Thx you Rim/Tire experts !!

I don't know that I would want to run spacers with the power you make/will be making.

You will need to run spacers.

try a search in this forum, there was a guy not long ago (august maybe) that put a set of these on a green camaro vert and, don't hold me to it but if I remember right, I believe he said they bolted right on with no spacers. They were factory wheels too.

I'd say that you would need spacers. The 295's that I have on the rear Have maybe a 1/4" in between them and the LCA's. I had to use a BFH to beat in the fenderwell also.

You will need to replace the studs with something stronger (arp) to run those spacers safely.

I almost made the same post..

Yea get atleast 5mm longer Studs and the spacers will be okay if you must use them. That rear shot is sexy btw!

I wish i knew you wanted some when i was getting rid of mine. i would have traded for some tuning time.

Edit: didnt realize it was C6 wheels becasue i cant see pics at work. either way, your car is a BAMF.

I know mine are 17's, but you can definitely fit a 12" wheel under there, my rear Fikse's are 17x12 and fit just fine.

A few of our sponsors may have them. If you have a 12 bolt, you may already have some better studs on there... you'd have to look at a build sheet or something.

Clint....you have seen the studs on my car.
They are 3.25" ARP's.

if you have a spacer that bolts to the rotor, the wheel then bolts to the spacer do you change all the studs? my car runs high 11s now but plan on running mid 10s this coming summer. thanks, shawn

I would have hooked you up with soe tuning time for sure...

I'm a little concered about the offset... But I'mm get them to fit... They are not on the car yet, but they look bad *** !


Never used wheel spacers... Can someone really trust them?

can someone really trust them? i dont. im constantly worried about doing a burn out!

I would be more worried about running high speeds, or around a corner agressivly.


Need someone to chime in here that has run spacers without issues, someone running 9's or 10's with spacers and says everything is okay.... :-)
