Hello, I am wondering what brand rims that would fit a C6 z06 brakes with an 18" rims and what sizes do they have? I would like the rear to be either 18x10.5" or 18x11". For the front, I was told need to have 18x9.5". This is for my 1988 Camaro, that I have the C6 z06 brakes.
Before, I had 18x9.5" Ruff 281 Rims and it wouldn’t fit cause of the caliper touching the inside of the rims. So I have to try and sell it or trade it. Also the rear is 18x11" that I got it widen from 18x9.5".
Maybe you need 19s.
I think the C6 ZO6 is 19"F/20"R.
Nose around on the max wheel size for the rears. Some folks have put WIDE tires and discussed the subject.

Nope, I have Z06 wheels on my truck in 18x8 fronts and 19x10 rears and the Z06 brakes (6 piston C6Z06) are going under them.
I was going 17's and 18's, but swtiched to 18's and 19's for that very reason.
Would a SP20a CCW rims 18x9.5" and a Cray 18x9.0" rims fit a C6 Z06 brakes?
Are all aftermarket 18" rims material thickness inside different? I couldn't fit my Ruff 18x9.5" rims with the C6 Z06 brakes and the Corvette C6 18" fit?
the fitment issue is just how the wheels are made, some wheels the spokes taped inwards, so the larger calipers wont work, other are straight or curved outwards. There are clearance templates floating around somewhere that you will have to reference to determine if you have the clearance. You would have to have the dimensions of the wheels you are looking at as well.
c6 vette wheels would clear, because they are made for those brakes. Anyother wheel you would have to measure.
I think I have decided to go with the company CCW rims. I can’t decide what rims to choose for my car. The color is metallic grey. Don’t know how to use the photoshop.
So which rims would you choose SP16a or SP20a?
For the front would be 18x9.5” or 18x10” if the 10” wide rim would fit without hitting anything inside, or should I go with 18x9.5”?
The rear would be 18x11” with 3” lip. I know I will have to remove the bumpstops and do some hammering.
