Default 18x12 Z06s!!!

How long have they been out? I just saw them in a magazine today. I just thought that it would look insane. Does anyone know if they come in Corvette only offsets? I think they are made by O.E. concepts

They've bee out for a little while. I was going to put them on my '69 before I changed my mind. I believe there is only one offset, but I found the silver ones for like $250 a piece.

Would those even fit an f-body? Also wouldn't that be a lot of weight out back?

I can't remember the offset, but I remember thinking I wouldn't be able to fit them on my '01 without cutting out the inner fenders. No biggie on the '69. As far as the weight, I'm sure you'd be able to compensate by doing a few lbs. of weight reduction on the car..if you could fit them.

I did these on my trans am with 335s. Looks awesome but much too much work to get them in there. Had to go as far as cutting on my lca's cause the tires were actually touching them-not a good move I know. I don't regret it but I wouldn't recommend it or do it again. I put the z06 18/10.5s up front with 295s. Looks phat. Anyway, just my $.02 Later

why don't they just make one 5 foot wide wheel? it would be like a log, or steamroller drum in the rear.

if you got a 12" rim in a 44mm offset it would fit.
the inner side would sit like a 10.5 58mm offset rim so you would need a bfh and the outer side would sit like a 36mm offset 11" rim, so rolled fenders and 12" should fit. I made a chart w/ 10 common sizes and offsets but cant seem to post it yet.

WOW that CHART is badASS only if you could make it bigger.... i can still read it, but its just kinda on the small side....

so arrording to your chart, a rear 12 inch rim with a 44mm offset would fit under the car with i fender roller, and a slight BFH mod, very intersting!?!?

How did you get these measurements?!?!?



THAT CHART SHOULD BECOME A STICKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
