Default C7 Z06 wheels

I'm looking at getting rims for my 02 Firehawk. So I'm looking at the the chrome C7 Z06 rims in 17x9.5. However, i cannot find pics of those rims on a 98-02 car. Is anyone running those rims that has pics they can post? Thanks in advance.

Those C7 Z06 wheels won't fit your Firehawk without major work. The bolt pattern is different and the offset is wrong, pushing the wheels out too far.
You'll need adapters, which can be risky. Look for replica wheels made specifically for the F-body fitment instead.

bolt pattern on both wheels is same. 5 x 4.75 (sometimes called 5 x 120.7mm)

the offset and width is different

the firehawk has a 45mm offset if I recall. the C7 Z06 has a rear wheel offset of 58mm, however a much wider wheel, so the back spacing is significantly more

Just an FYI, the Firehawk wheels for that year were the same offset as 17x9" SS & WS6 factory wheels: +50mm.

Rear wheel is wider and larger in diameter. Been that way on the C5's, C6's, C7's and C8's

The C6 wheels on my Fiat are 18's up front and 19's in back

I'm kinda on the fence about them. I just don't want to do TT2's, welds, and others that are over done if that makes sense.
