i believe the OEM C6 vette wheels offsets are way off for the fbody or maybe just the C6 ZO6 wheels have the crazy offset can't remeber, however there are aftermarket C6 wheels made in fbody offsets all over the place.

So why do i see all these guys have these corvette rims on their f-bodies. They are the original vette rims right? Or they are different vette rims with different offsets?

The C6 wheels dont even fit the C5's directly..

Most likely what youve been seeing are thesame wheels with diffrent offsets...

check over at west coast corvettes for examples

I'm running the OEM C6 rims. The fronts will fit-only a 58 mm offset but the rears are the problem with a 79mm offset. I'm running a 1.25 inch hubcentric adapter to make them fit. But I bought mine two years ago; I also wanted the competition grey color. As has been mentioned, there are plenty of repros out now with the proper offsets.

The new C6 Vette wheels require a spacer to fit. I asked at a wheel shop because I love those ZO6 wheels

I doubt many will be inquiring into the new 2008 C6 split spoke wheel; to me it it just doesn't look like it belongs on a perfomance car.

Well the guy i am buying the rims from let me borrow a rear and front rim. The front fits ok but the rear needs a 1/2 spacer which isnt too bad.

If they are OEM, I don't think a half inch spacer will work for the rears under actual driving conditions (for example, hard cornering). Also a spacer that size would require longer studs to be on the safe side. You would be better off using an adapter or going with repros.

No... he said they are replicas. However, the replicas are avavilbe in the correct off set.

Check Tomzwheels or Ebay.

yes mine are the same offsetts. i grinded bumpstop and used bfh in rear to make them fit without spacers or adapters to adjust the offsett. I kind of wish I would have waited and bought the right offsett repos

do they fit pretty deep in the wheel well w/ no spacers? i personally like the look of the tire out near the fender. makes the car look wider IMO.
