Re: z06 rotors ctsv caliper wheel offset

front should be 19's, might be able to squeeze them in an 18, however the design of the wheel has a lot to do with the wheels fitting over the brakes as well as the offset.

What width are you looking at, and what wheels? you cant always get the correct offset for 3rd gens, you may need spacers as well.

C6 zo6 wheels would fit, but you would need spacer

Re: z06 rotors ctsv caliper wheel offset

i believe the regular c6 has smaller wheels than the z06. They would most likely not fit the larger brakes

Re: z06 rotors ctsv caliper wheel offset

You will need atleast 18s in the front...Adapter thickness will depend on wheel offset.

Re: z06 rotors ctsv caliper wheel offset

9.5" / 2 + 65mm / 25.4 Offset + 0.25" Lip = 7.56"

7.56" - 5" = 2.56" Adapter

With the brake upgrade you can subtract roughly another 0.3" for the thickness of the hub, so that leaves you at ~2.25" adapter.

I am not sure if the 295 drag radials will fit up front, but i've heard of people running 275s up front with little issue (minor rubbing at full lock).

If you went with replica c6 wheels you can probably find a wheel with a smaller offset, which will reduce the thickness of the adapter that you would need.

Re: z06 rotors ctsv caliper wheel offset

the 2.25" adapter would be if you ran those rims on the front. This site will tell you how to calculate the correct adapter thickness for the front and rear:

Re: z06 rotors ctsv caliper wheel offset

Should the C6 ZO6 front + rear brake fit my rims:

front: 18 x 8,5 " @ 6N
rear: 18 x 9,5 " @ 6P

Or will I need spacers?
