Default Has anyone mounted C6 Wheels?

I really like the new C6 wheels. Victoriatire.com has them for sale but in the 19" they come 12" wide for the rear. Does anyone know if they will bolt up to an f-bod?

You mean C6 Z06 replicas. If they are a Corvette offset they won't fit without modifications. You can get them from other vendors in sizes and offsets that will fit an FBody without mods. Try our sponsor, TomZWheels.

I got mine from Victoriatire.com via eBay. My 18x9.5's fit fine and don't negatively affect the ABS with the tire size I have...

I'd still try to see if TomZWheels can get them for you first. (I was an early adopter and they didn't have them yet when I got mine.)

That much pounding would probably significantly weaken the metal. I would think surgery will be required in the form of rear tubs, or, using an adapter or aftermarket studs to kick the rims out from the body. IMO, if you do the latter, you need to redo the rear quarter panels (wider like the Berger Camaro) or add some serious wheel well flares.

We like the new Z06 wheels as well, but they weren't available when we needed our new wheels last January. Hope everything works out and make sure to post up pics.

hey im looking at getting the hyper silver C6 Z06 rims to from that site, if you notice the 19X12 are stated to only fit corvettes, my guess it would take alot of the BFH, i think i might go 18x9.5 all the way around eventhough i would love wider in the rear atleast this way i can rotate.

I'm currently running the C6 19X10 with a 1.25 inch adapter. For a 19X12 with a C6 Corvette offset, you would probably have to pound the metal in at least an inch, probably more for proper clearance. Do you really want to do that to the vehicle? If you want to run a 19X12, you are better off getting a wheel that comes in the correct offset or finding another solution than the BFH mod.
