Default C6 18x8.5 and 18x10.5 fit?

Hey guys, trying to get the offsets from the owner of these wheels and he doesn't know if they fit the camaro. Here's the info...


corvette C6
18x8.5 - 265/35/18 front
18x10.5 - 285/35/18 rear

My guess is that they will fit as long as the offsets are good. does anybody have any other info? From what I understand, these are stock C6 wheels with standard offset (just don't know the #s)...

Ok, got an email from the owner. He says they are both +56. I must've misread his email, guess these are just C6 wheels...will they fit without any rubbing or BFH?

yep, they should be 19's in the back if they are stock C6's.
You shouldn't have much trouble running the 18's, but you'll still need spacers I believe.

those would look alot better than the 97 vette wheels! the 19s would be hard to fit w/o rubbing, but its been done.

Just got an email, they are new "repros" so that's why they are 18x8.5 and 18x10.5 and +56. I've been reading as much as I can, and what I gathered so far is that the rears will fit, but I may need a spacer and/or BFH. Can someone confirm this, cause I've got conflicting info in a number of places. Some say nothing is needed, some say spacers some say only BFH.

Should be OK, although the backs may need a little BFH or a small spacer (1/8" to 1/4")

I just put on some 18x10.5s in the back c6 wheels with that offset. There is not rubbing or anything, the fit great. Go for it.

There an't going to rub because are wheel well is wider then the camaro. I agree with check with TOMZWHEELS, I just talked to tom and his price's are cheap.

Well, I got 'em...umm, well almost all of them! UPS decided to only deliver two wheels, I dunno how they let the other two, which nevertheless were EXACTLY the same (even same address, crazy, I know), slip on by. But I'm gonna call 'em and let them know how awesome I think they are...pics to come when I actually get FOUR wheels...

So, how do two packages from So. Cali going to No. Cali get separated, one delivered on time, and the other goes to salt lake city? the answer: UPS of course! DO NOT BUY UPS STOCK! so, my other front and rear wheels are in Salt Lake City, UTAH and won't be delivered until monday, 6 business days later! wow, i'm impressed. F#$% UPS, i just want my damn wheels

i have 18x9.5 c6 all the way around on mine and they fit without any problems, you will probably need to get spacers because there is very little room with the 9.5's

yeah, i'm gonna go ahead and buy some chrome gorilla lugs, and definitely gonna ask the local shop if they carry any small spacers. So, looks like I'm gonna put these on the car on Monday...but you never know, could be like next friday at this rate
