Default Z06 wheels- CORRECT OFSET??

I saw some Z06 wheels on RKSPORT.com site.

18x9.5 +57 ofset (Front)
18x10.5 +58 ofset (Back)

Do you think those would fit nicely without sticking out too much??

They will fit. They will not stick out. Stcok wheels are around 50 mm. So the wheels will actually move "in".

The fronts will fit fine but you will have problems with the rears. The fender walls will have to be hit in back there.

They also got 18x10.5 +57mm offset. do these need fender wall hammering also?

The closer you get teh wheels to 50 mm or even less, the better the wheel will fit and look.

If a smaller offset is avail, get it. Means less inner wheel well modification. The ONLY thing I HAD to do to my SS with the 18" x 10.5" wheels was the BFH mod to the inner wheel well and reundercoat. Nothing else.

Add a 3rd gen 1/8" spacer and you might not have to massage the inner wheel wells. I had to push mine a little bit. (With the spacers)
