Default wil c6 wheels fit?

Well I have came across a killer deal on a set of 06 c6 wheels. 19'' rear and 18'' fronts. I checked a book at work and the bolt pattern and stuff is the same but the offsets are not. Will these wheels work on a z28? I know I may need spacers for the rear.

Tire sizes are 285/35/19 rear and 245/40/18 fronts.

Also what would a set of these be worth? They are mint. Car had 3k miles. BTW they are REAL vette wheels not knock offs.

I paid $200 for my set of C6 rims. However, I don't have them on yet. The front 18's will fit just fine, but you're going to need a 1.25" adapter to make the rear 19x10's fit. Also, those are stock C6 tire sizes and they will cause your speedometer to be off as well as set off the ABS light. It's my understanding that F-Bodies have trouble with staggered rims because there can't be more than a 1/2" difference between the front and rear tire heights without triggering the ABS light.

To stay near the stock height of the F-Body tires AND not set off the ABS light, I bought 255/35/18's for the front 18x8.5's and I went with 275/30/19's for the rear 19x10's.

Here's a picture of a 4th Gen. with the stock C6 tires and rims as well as a thread about fitment:

my back ones arent 19's, but they are 18x10.5's...but they fit fine with only a 5/16 spacer....now i realize that they are 1" smaller diameter, but the are also 1/2" wider so i dunno how that would all work out...but there are def. some cars on here w/ that setup so i know it can be done....how?...im not exactly sure

silver painted C6 wheels. practically new tires. around 6 months old. front tires goodyear 245/45-18. rear tires nitto 555 275/35-19. the rear really should use a 1" spacer, but as you can see, they are on the car with no spacers. will have to clearance the inner fender well to clear.

currently on this car


what they looked like on my car

Heres mine with 275/30/19 rears and 245/40/18 fronts. I know it needs to be lowered, and i'll do that next spring with 1" spacers.

You will need a 1" to 1.25" adapter to fit the OEM C6 wheels. The offset is something like +79mm which is way too much for an F-body. Also, you cannot use the stock Vette tire sizes on an f-body without a programmer to change the the diameter of the rear tires.
Stock Vette tires:
front: 245-40-18 = 25.71" diameter
rear: 285-35-19 = 26.85" diameter
Stock F-body tires:
front and rear: 245-50-16 or 275-40-17 = 25.6" diameter
Tomzwheels has the C6 wheels with better offsets. You will still need to do some BFH, but they will be a better fit than the OEM wheels.

I have the same size wheels 18x9.5/19x10 and mine needed no spacers fit just fine (except they're C6 ZO6 wheels). Do not recommend going with the 245 tire(which came with package) up front looked like **** on the wheel when I saw it. Tire was too thin for the wheel so I went with 275/40/18. I have had no problem with the ABS coming on. check out my pics
