Default C6 Z06 wheels 06-08 fit Fbodies???

I was wondering if the Z06 wheels fit 93-02 FBodies. I have a 1993 trans am and curious if the brake calipers clear and outer fender. I know I may have to bang the inner fender. Anybody ever try this out as I have a factory polished set???

Aftermarkets will fit fine. If they are actually off a vette.... you will need some serious spacers for the rear.... the offset is all wrong. Fronts will fit fine.

i know ive read about a few people fitting OEM c6 zo6 wheels on fbodies. in one post there are some pics of them...

i know some people are doing it. one guy says longer wheel studs and a 5/8 spacer in the rear, with some hammering on the passenger side....

Its been awhile since I read that article in GM High Tech Perf., but I do remember being amazed that he fit those factory C6 Z06 wheels and tires under that car. It didnt sound like there were any spacers used, just some massaging of the fender wells......... Definitely check that article out though.
