Default Another which wheels to get??

Help me, I am stuck between, the c5 z06, c6 z06, or c6 z06 deep dish wheels.

Which wheels would look better for my car? I am leaning c6 z06 deep dish but worried about how hard it is to make them fit

Hey:

What sizes are you wheels now? You can go 18x10.5 wheels all around, with any of those Z06 wheels listed just stagger the tires 285 35 up front and 315 35 in back.

What kind of rims are you looking at?

MANY BMW rims will fit our cars... I find around 5 more types of rims just last night that fit our cars. They were all under 750$ shipped or less for all four.

I personally LOVE deep dish mesh rims on 4th gens, I think they look better than anything.. There is a wide variety of nice rims and VERY affordable (600-800$ shipped) to boot for our cars in this style.

i like the c5z06's i have and i think they are 17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 or 11 and they more than fill the fenderwell

i even had to put a 1/4 inch spacer on the rears
they are a 295/35/18 BFG tire

I didnt have to do anything to get mine to fit. the rub is extremely minor so there's no need to do anything about it. im lowered 1.5" in the rear, have a 10.5" wheel, and successfully run 295s with no mods.
