ZO6 wheel question Is anyone running OEM ZO6 wheels on thier car? Is it a direct bolt on? I have heard from people that they will not fit an Fbody. And if you are running them, do you have any rubbing issues with the rear? Any help on this would be appreciated. Pics would be great also. OEM wheels only though.

Selling the FM10's isnt anywhere on the horizon. I will be using the ZO6 wheels for Open Road RAcing. The FM10's on the rear are just to wide and I will be risking a blowout if the supension bottoms out over a bump at 160mph. I am hoping the ZO6 wheels will help eliviate this problem

Re: ZO6 wheel question the rears are 18x10.5. the spacer is the same one i use for my draglites, its like an 1/8 of an inch thick i think. when using these going as fast as you do i dunno if i would trust the spacer in there b/c it does prevent the lugs from gettin all the way in. longer studs would fix that right up though. if i were you i'd just get 2 9.5 fm10s for the back, it would probably a little more pricy but you cant beat the strength and weight of a fikse, my .02 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: ZO6 wheel question for the price of 2 FM10's I could get a complete set of ZO6 wheels though. Maybe I should give Fikse a call and see if I could get a sponsor. They are local to me!

Re: ZO6 wheel question My best friend lives in Bellevue and was looking at the Fikse for his 'vette.
Maybe they'd give you a two person group purchase kind of deal. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I told him they were in Kent and he said that was within an hours drive I believe.

Re: ZO6 wheel question Maybe it depends on the tires you put on them, but mine went on my Camaro with NO spacers at all.

I believe i had 275/35-18's on mine in the rear. I think most others run a 295 or 285, not sure if that would make a difference or not. I haven't heard of too many people using spacers, unless maybe they have some aftermarket brake setup or something.

Ok, I have a question about this aswell. A few years ago I bought a set of 4 Chrome Reproduction Z06 Wheels. They look great, but from what I heard they were meant for my 2000 Camaro and are a little bit different than the stock Gunmetal Gray 01 to 04 Z06 Wheels. Now I want a set of Original Stock 01 to 04 Z06 Wheels in that same Gunmetal Gray and I am wondering if they will still fit my 2000 Z28? I heard they are lighter which is part of the reason I want them.
