Default C5 Z06 18X10.5 on the fronts of an '01 Camaro?

Hi guys!

Does anyone have the C5Z06 rear wheels with the +58mm offset on the fronts of an 01-02 LS1 Camaro?


I thought that these were going to be a direct bolt on but lo and behold, I'm going to need a spacer, which obviously means I'll need hubcentric spacers and longer ARP bolts, what size bolts would I need to order?

Thanks in advance!

I can't say about the C5Zo6 wheels but on my Zr1 wheels (17x11 fronts w/50mm offset) I'm using a billet 1/4" spacer and ARP 2.5" wheel studs. I also had to grind down the casting nub on the spindle too. The place that balanced my wheels didn't use stick-on weights like I asked them to and the weights on the lip on the inside JUST barley clear the spindle.

I have 18x10.5 C5 ZO6 wheels on all four corners of my SS and I am not running a spacer. I am not sure what the offset is but I got them off a friends dad's C5 Z06, I do have 1/4 spacers in the rear because they were rubbing even with me hammering away and the inner fender.

I can tell you right now that 10.5" wide z06 wheels with a 58mm offset WILL NOT fit on the front. The inside of the wheel hits the spindle. I actually checked this yesterday.
