Default Do the factory C6 wheels fit our fbody?

Could I buy a set of used C6 wheels off a C6 and bolt them up, or is the backspacing different?

Fronts will fit, but the rears will not.

You will need to run spacers. I am not sure on the exact size, im sure someone will chime in with the answer. I personally think your zr1s>c6 wheels.

I didn't think they would just bolt up...

I love chrome ZR1's but I want 18's and...I'm am kinda looking at some darker wheels to accent some of the future appearence mods...

Do yourself a favor, LOOK @ C6 aftermarket wheels. They come in the correct off sets. No spacers required. Just Bolt on.

Yeah that would be the obvious thing to do...but I was on the corvette froum page and people are selling the competition grey C6's for a little over 300...and I love those wheels.

I had a 1/4" spacer on mine and that was all it needed. You will have to buy longer wheel studs though, which means you have to take out the rear axles to do so. Kind of a pain in the *** if have to pay someone to do it. Luckily I had the shop to do it in. Hope this helps.

If that is $300 for all four that is a good deal. If that is $300 per wheel, you can do better price wise with the aftermarkets.
