Default z06 wheel offsets..

-18"x9.5" +50 to +56 mm 275/35R18 or 285/35R18.

18"x10.5" +50 to +53 mm. Higher than 53 mm will require the BFH mod. 285/35R18s thru 315/30R18. Over 295 may require rolling the fenderlip and will need the BFH.-

where can i find z06 wheels, 18x9.5 for the front and 18x10.5 rear, within those offsets? i dont want to be attempting a BFH mod nor have any rubbing issues. i also plan to drop 1.5 inches so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check out TomzWheels.com ----------------> sponsor

$739 for 18x9.5+57 front and 18x10.5+58 rear, but I think you're gonna need a spacer for the rear if you use a 285+ tire. Give Tom a ring and he can probably clarify it for you. I'm waiting on my 18x10.5 C6 rims that are +56 and I have 285/35's on 'em, so it's either BFH or a small spacer for me.

Or, bid on eBay. Here's just a few I found, and these have +56 in the rear:

i got off the phone with discount tire, and the company that made z06 18x10.5's in 53 offset discontinued them, and tomZ doesnt have them either in 53, so i guess im screwed there...my dad says spacers are dangerous, is that true?

Well, adapters are pretty dangerous, but alot of people are running small spacers with no problems. A better solution is just to hammer the wheel well a bit until the tires don't rub, or get a smaller sized tire!
