Default ??'s about OEM Z06 wheels.

I want a set of OEM Z06 wheels for my NBM WS6. I don't want a set of chrome wheels, and I don't want a set of the Z06 motorsports black wheels. I love the grey color of the OEM wheels. I know the fronts will fit fine, but the rears have a 61mm offset and will tuck in too far and hit the inner fender wells.

I have the longer ARP wheel studs in the rear and was thinking about installing a 5/16 spacer in the rear which will move the wheels 8mm out from the inner well. Will 8mm be enough? That should make the 61mm offset into a 53mm offset, which is a common offset for the 18x10.5's people are running.

My other question is... Does anyone make a OEM looking grey Z06 wheel that is 18x10.5 with the correct offset?
Thanks

Not sure if anyone makes them in the correct offset, but I have the OEM Z06 wheels with a 6mm spacer on the rear. They look perfect but they will rub a little on the inside fender. Had to hammer down a few spots but its all good now. I say go for the OEM's they look great and they're pretty light too.

I'm running OEM Z06 wheels with OEM 1/8" (3MM) spacers and ARP studs. I just went to 305/35/18 tires and had to BFH the wheel well. Clearances are all good now.
