Re: z06 rim question
I run 2" spacers with my z06 wheels, and ive got 285/35's out back with alittle room left. Id say maybe some lite hammering just to be safe but you should be ok.

Re: z06 rim question

Re: z06 rim question
They actually fit awesome and look amazing as well. Are yours chrome? I'll have to upload some pictures in a little bit. Mine fit pretty well all around. The 295's in the back fit with absolutley no trouble. If I decide to go to a 305 or 315 I may just need to hammer out the fender a little or use a 2.5" spacer. As for the fronts' nothing rubs but my tie rod is extremely close to the inner lip of the wheel. I am going to order 2.5" for the front just to give myself the extra clearence. Everything sits flush with the fenders and nothing sticks out. Like I said, I'll post pictures in a little bit. I'm at work right now and photoshop is blocked. lol.

Re: z06 rim question
17X9.5 w/54mm & 18X10.5 w/58mm offsets. I just got mine delivered and tried them with the 2" spacer that I had on my car (recomended size is 2.25" on the front and 2" on the rear) and its really close to the tie rod. I think if it wasnt for my c5 brake upgrade they would probrably hit the rim. I also would like to add that these clear my brake upgrae much better than the Konig Monsoons I had on that are the same size. The rear are also fairly close but nothing some hammering wont fix, I already have the rear lip rolled and have 295/35/18 to put on the rear. I will post pics once tires are on the car

Re: z06 rim question
they clear without any issues at all, very tight though. still say i wouldnt try it without a brake upgrade in the front or with a 2.25" spacer in the front

Re: z06 rim question
What backspacing are your z06 wheels? I was told there was absolutely no way I could fit my c6 Z06 wheels on my car.
