yeah those are aftermarket... the oem offsets are going to be TOTALLY different... your not going to like it... you need to get the rims with the offset for your car

1- 75mm offset wheel with a 1" spacer
2- 50mm wheel
And there's nothing wrong with bolt-on spacers.. OEM's have done it for years.
(Disclaimer: unless you're one of "those guys" who bolts on a set of wheels and never checks the torque on them ever again)

That is some serious meat in the rear !
ok what did you do to get them in there.. using a spacer, if so what size? BFH mod? if so how much "BFHing" Any cutting? Can you tuck them in tighter? they look a little too far out.
Otherwise very nice

They wont work without a spacer I think. I tried to fit one since I have a few sitting around and it rubbed like **** on the inner wheel well without a tire, and they were dead even with the quarter panel lip.

Sorry, I don't have an ultra-wide fitment. They are 275/35R18s and 18"x9.5" with 40 mm offset all around. There may be trace tire rub in the front part of the front wheel well but I can't hear/feel any rub. I think the fitment, the way the tires fit flush to slightly inboard, and the look cannot be any better.
I purchased these wheels for $792 for the entire set at Wheel Concepts in Newbury Park, CA back in early Jan. It was close to the best prices online incl. shipping. Prices may have come down further since. Oh, and these are not OEM C6 Z06s, but reproductions/replicas. The springs and dampers are the SLP Bilstein-Eibach 0.5"-0.75" mild lowering pkg.

Ya I've seen many Aftermarket Zo6 wheels on F-bodys.. I made this to see OEM Zo6 wheels and to see what it takes to make them fit.. Scream Chicken posted a few pics.. I hope to see a few more pics from him and others that have done this.

2nd, a spacer could solve the problem but you'll wanna roll the fender lip.
3rd, the only fab it'll take to get em to fit is a small mini-tub.
I've got C6 ZO6 rims for my '00 WS6 and am waiting on a friend who has a shop to get some time to help me with the mini-tub and some $$ to grow on a tree in my yard so I can afford the 325 rear and 295 front tires.

I would like to put grey OEM Z06 wheels on my camaro.. Did a PS looks freaking good.. And in the worst case I can send the wheels for narrowing down to "11 or "11,5.
I would not run wider tires than 315 because of clearance... I have had 335 out back and as fast as I tried to corner the damn tires was in either the inner wheelwheel or the fender. And yes.. BFH mod is made and rolled fenders. But that damn bupstopp is still there... and its anoying... have to do some thing about those to night.
