Not that Z06 wheels on a WS6 is something new, but I figured i'd post up some pics because of all the offset questions. These are 18x9.5" with a 58mm offset and 275/35ZR18 F1 GS-D3s.







Overall i'm very happy with the fit and stance. Only thing is that these required shank style lug nuts instead of the stock conical style, which I thought was weird. But they're on and looking great.

Not bad... wheels look good on the car! I would probably put a spacer in the rear though. The front looks fine however, the rear appears to be a hair too tucked in.

Same here, just get that done. Other than that man they look really nice on your car.

Wheels or car?

Wheels are silver painted. They have a beautiful metalflake.

For the car, I use Zymol for finishing.

I'm still debating on spacers. Anyone know how thick a spacer I can use without changing studs?

Next step of course will be Hotchkis springs. I don't want it super low and the Hotchkis' are a nice a subtle drop, plus i've heard great things about their performance. I'll probably pick up the sway bars too and take care of it all in one install.

I'm using a 1/8'' GM spacer without longer studs (part # 14091902). My wheels are OEM Z06 wheels with the rears at 61mm offset but at an inch wider than yours (18 X10.5) mounted on 285/35/18s.



I ran 5/16'' spacers, but I took them off because the nuts were only getting about 3.5 turns on the stock studs. Hope that helps.

Hey Blakbird24 so youre running 58mm offset with no spacers or modifications? Im planning on getting some motorsport Z06 wheels. I was holding off because I didnt feel like being bothered with any annoying extra modifications to get the wheels to fit.

The way you see the wheels in my pics are the way they look with no tricks. No spacers or adapters or big hammers. They fit just fine, and look good. I am however considering spacers for the rear. Not sure yet. I would highly recommend staying away from any offset higher than 58mm on the 9.5" width wheels. My tires clear the front spring mount bolt's cotter pin by about 4mm. That doesn't leave much room for error. A small spacer would fix that easily though.

I wish.

It's essentially a Heads/Cam package with some extra goodies. My car is only AFR tuned and my exhaust is sitting in the garage. I'm waiting until I can get a dyno tune, then I will put on the exhaust, so as to avoid frying O2 sensors and possibly injuring pistons.

Its ok...your car still looks pimp and i convinced my brother who has a 99 ws6 to basically have a similar setup as u, atleast for apperance... hes got zo6 chrome rims, yellow calipers(it sounds bad but it looks awesome),hes prolly now getting those white or silver vents and hes getting mirror silver TA lettering... I showed him your car and he thought it looked awesome... he said it reminded him of a viper alittle. Im pretty sure u said u dont have headers on yet. Just wait and see how much that helps your cam out... Its awesome but u will def need a tune or the cam will basically make it die out at idle

I have the chrome ZO6s 18X10.5(58mm off set) 295/35/18 rear with a 3/8in spacer (NO BFH MODS, NO RUBBING ISSUES ANYWHERE), 18X10.5 (58mm off set) 275/35/18 front with 1/2in hubcentric spacer(to clear STOP TECH Brakes) no mods or rubbing issues ANYWHERE. Have the LGM G-2 springs all the way around. running the ARP 2.5" wheels studs w/open lug nuts. IMHO it now looks like it was meant to come that way.
