ask on the corvetteforum.com or call CCW, they use 16 inch wheels (bigs and litles) for C5 vettes.

Ditto. Check corvetteforum or CCW. My friend has a set of CCWs for his Z06 that use 16" front tires.

No reason to use a 16 and try to use it as a skinny (i.e.16x4) if you don't need to, you'll have to use a radial and stuff it on. It is heavier, higher rotational mass, as well as generally more expensive. We can build a 16x4 but it's not something that we normally would do when we can fit smaller diameter rims.

Choose a 15 that fits. Our P1 15x4 Bogarts fit easily.

CCW has that 16" skinny with some rare radial on there, and they are pricey.

I stand corrected. Sounds pricey though. Just stick with the 15's.

If you don't want to gut and grind and use decent size brakes, have to go 16...not 15...

Speed costs..looking good while speeding costs more.
