Yes, I'm told they will fit if you modify the upper ball-joint and grind the knuckle.

Well it does'nt look like I'll be using them.There is no way I'm taking a grinder to my 250 mile,5 day old car.The SS in my sig saw some work with a grinder on the calipers but the Z is off limits. Anyone know of a lightweight 16 inch wheel that will fit without hacking my ride.

John @ CCW said he had a Wheel That would work without Grinding he said it was not for the high HP guy but probably perfect for the Z06 But If you just want the back don't tell him they are for et streets because he told me he could only sell them as a set for insurance reason. If you need the number PM me.

CCW is your only option. Here is a pic of my car with the grinding done....

J-Rod I took your advice via PM and did the grinder mod.I used SLP V-6 Firebird takeoff wheels and they fit just fine.Actually I took off less than you did and touched it up by hand with sandpaper.It was much less hacketry than I initially thought.

you could have put 17" wagon wheels and run drag radials and not grinded anything. Im sorry but I cant put a grinder to my 40K car.

I understand not wanting to grind on your car but it is really no big deal to me.I took a grinder to my $53,000 10 day old Z06.I'm a drag racer and don't see any reason to waste my time on a 17 inch Drag Radial.I plan on a ARE 436 stroker real soon,and while a DR may work now it won't when the stroker goes in.The job I did is much cleaner than the pics you see above(no offense J-Rod).I have 8 17 inch wheels collecting dust in my shop.I could have easily bolted them on but decided to go with a better tire.
