Looking at putting these wheels on my Trans Am:

http://www.oewheelsllc.com/CV07A-180...6-style-wheels

Based on what I can determine, these should fit fine and not rub. (Will they look dumb with +56mm though?)

However there is a warning on there about big brake kits... I have the Wilwood 13" kit, which currently fits fine under my SLP Firehawk 17" rims. I can't imagine these wheels have *less* clearance than that, but do you guys think it would be a problem? Does anyone have these wheels?

Pic attached, as you can see the caliper to rim clearance is plenty right now, I can easily get a pinkie finger in there.

For reference, the wheel clearance diagram from Wilwood:

go with a +40mm offset.

Are those wheels even available in +40? I looked on their site and couldn't find anything about other available offsets.

Real OEM c6z06 wheels are 18x9.5 +40

We only carry this size in the 56mm offset, I do not have it in a 40mm

We also would not be able to guarantee fitment if you have any other brakes other than the factory brakes.

FWIW, I have a set of those wheels and
brembo calipers. They barely fit without making contact. I'll likely use a small spacer.

Good to know, thanks!

I *think* the Wilwood calipers aren't as large, but I guess I'll have to find out. Worst case, like you say, I can run a small spacer.

I decided to take a chance and ordered anyway, you guys got it to me much faster than expected (next day, as I'm in Florida), and got an LS1Tech discount, so thanks!

In case anyone is wondering or searching in the future, Wilwoods are absolutely no issue with these wheels. More space than the SLPs I had.

Finally got them installed

Awesome glad they fit exactly how you wanted them to!

It's $25.00 off a set of wheels or $50.00 off a set of wheels and tires.

Where do you let someone know when ordering online?
Do we just write LS1Tech in the box where it asks for promo code?

I bought the .OE Wheels C7 Z06 wheels 18 X10.5 and have 285/35/18 Nitto 555 G2's. The tire shop used a lift and the wheel hits the bumpstop on the driver's side. They didn't try the passenger side. I've been told the rear axle shifts on a lift. If they jacked it up by the pumpkin would the wheels fit? They are the 56mm offset. Does the rear axle really move that much on a lift? I ordered spacers but I'd like to get the wheels on without them. It is a 1998 Z28.
