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

 

Looks good punk. What size?

 

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

 

whats the offset? any wheel spacer required in the rear, BFHing?

 

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 need to get rid of my ZR1s for these.

 

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

 

well after some more aggressive driving I found out they do rub, but just slightly. nothing a BFH mod cant fix.

 

Glad to see you finally got them, looks great. Just need a drop now and it should look amazing.

 

Those do look sick. . . Noice

 

those look really good.

 

thanks. I am happy with how it turned out.

 

I think they look cheap

 

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

 

I think they look great! The website you posted says the rears are 19X12?

 

Why cheap?

I say I little skateboard'ish since the car is kinda high.

But, the rims are cool.

 

BEFORE....


after...



it does look a little donkish from the back, but thats why im going coil-overs. im gonna need to drop it down a ways

 

looks good! Nice choice.
