Default Z06 Wheels Question....

I am giving a guy my stock SS rims plus 200 bucks for his Z06 wheels. i was wondering exactly what size the rear wheels are? Are the rears 18X9.5 or are they bigger. i read in a post below that the rears look like they are too far in the wheel well. i was just wondering if it was going to look goofy or not. thanks. oh and this guy is trading in his C5 (has Z06's on it) for a H2. that is how i am getting these wheels for this price. he said that he just needed some wheels to trade the car in with.

OEM (grey) Z06s or chrome z06s?

the OEMs are 18x10.5 in the rear. They fit but they rub. I have a little spacer on mine and now they hardly ever rub, unless im doing some type of driving I shouldnt be doing on a public road <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Oh, chrome ones are most likely 9.5, but they come in several different sizes I believe. If its a 275 tire on it you will be fine without a doubt. If its a 295 tire, its probably a 10.5 wheel and you might have problems similar to mine. good luck
