look in the oe wheels thread there is 140 something pages of pics with cars and oe wheels, yes they will fit, the only thing you might have to do is a lil bfh mod, for sure if your going to lower it,and you might have to roll the fenders as well, again thats if you lower it and go with a decent back tire

My c6's just came in last week. I didn't go with the deep dish though. I had to get 18x9.5 for the front and they fit with 245's the backs go on tomorrow. They are 275's with 18x10.5

Yeah I looked through the or thread didn't see any deep dish c6. I'm not planning on lowering my car anytime soon anyway just curious to whether I'd have to bfh or use spacers or anything like that. Do you have pics of your c6's.

Yea they bolt right on. my 295's scrub in hard corners though and lood like ricer wheels. ...stretched. You need at least a 305 out back. The scrubbing can probably be helped with a beefy panhard bar.

Donth forget to jack up the axle. They will feel flush but they will be hitting the rear bumb stop. Then you'll shear off the bolts. Learned that the hard way.

Honestly I havent been able to drive it yet. But the 10.5's on the rear seem pretty close. At the top inside of the rim there is maybe a half inch clearance. If it does rub when in hard corners or what ever it looks like it would be easy to hammer that one spot in.

OK thanks I've changed my mind about 17 times just yesterday now I'm leaning toward the regular c6's. Ill probably stick with those I wouldn't mind possibly having to bfh the fenders

What did it for me was the rivets on the deep dishes. Other than that I would have went with those. If you want I can try to get a better picture for you tomorrow. I have all 4 on now. If you want you can pm your email.
