Default Spyder Z06 wheels on my Z28

I decided to be different and get the 2009-present Corvette spyder Z06 wheels.

the design was similar to the snowflake wheels I had. I liked those. only problem was that they were 16's and 8 inches wide.

got these put on today





im still 4x4'in, but that will be fixed soon enough. I needed new tires badly. I was driving on 0/32 of all season Kumho's

18x8.5 in front and 19x10 in back.

I got Nitto Invo tires. 265 front/285 rear. I love how smooth they ride. they were worth the big bucks I paid for them. lots of tread to start with too.

I went with the 19 in back because I think 18's look too small in the large wheel opening we have. I thought this filled it up much better. its almost flush with the side of the rear fenders too. I cant wait to see what it looks like after the drop

I forgot to check, but it should be C5 corvette offset. I ordered them through a tire shop that my local car forum has a sponsorship through. they couldnt find the wheels in any of their normal distributors. I sent them this link to show them what I wanted. no spacers needed for mine

I wasnt real happy paying so much for replica wheels, but almost no one has these on their cars yet. they are still pretty new so its gonna be hard finding used ones.

No spacers? Did you modify anything else? On my OEM C6 Wheels I had to run spacers so they wouldnt rub... just wondering how you got by that with Corvette offsets...

Then I might have to call the tire shop and get the offset. I didn't really ask. I just figured they were the ones in the link

No offense, but I'm with this guy. I don't think they fit the car at all.
