Default C6 Z06 rims?

I was just wondering if the C6 Z06 rims would fit directly on my '98 WS6 or would they require some work to make them fit?

The C6 Z06 comes with 18x9.5 front and 19x12 rears. They definately will not fit. Four fronts may fit with spacers. Corvette garage makes some replicas for the C5 that will fit.

But what are the offsets? That is the info that I haven't been able to find. There are people who are fitting wheels that wide under FBodies but usually with an FBody friendly offset. Certainly if the rears have the same offset as the regular C6 rears, you will need an adapter and they will probably stick out noticeably.

First though you would have to either purchase or locate a set. I'd be looking for Competition Grey which is just now becoming available. Maybe this winter/early spring they will start showing up on Ebay.

I cant say I know the c6 specs but this is what I do know. I worked at Les Schwab (biggest tire dealer in the west, idunno if they have those in TX) Anyhow I put a set of C5 chrome reps on my 95 Z. 18X9.5 and 275/35/18 all the way around. The fronts fit fine but the rears rubbed against the bump stops. I had take the rubber off the stops and then use a small spacer. (which is a bad thing) you can cut the mount off if you have a torch. I doubt the c7 would fit with out doing any of that. But if ou did cut the bs mounts they may.

I've got (4) 18x9.5 C6 Z06 rims on my 97 B4C. They fit perfectly with no rubbing or other issues. I have yet to drop it 1.5", so I'm not sure if anything will crop up when I do. I have C5 front brakes, so I doubt there's going to be any issues with newer F-bodies.

They look awesome...but sorry no pics yet.

Are you talking about the OEM rims or reproductions?
