wheel fitment

im currently swapping out my c6 z51 brake for the c6 z06 brake and was wondering if the 18x9.5 c5 z06 wheels would fit without hitting the spoke as i have seen c5 corvette with the c6 z06 brakes running 18x10.5 c5 z06 wheels in the front and fitting tight i know i would have to run spacers what do you guys recommend? im not worried for the rear as iam running the 4th gen rearend any help would be appreciated

There are a couple on here with 295/35R18x10.5s on the front, it can be done. I'd be doing it if I wasn't working on AWD.

Re: wheel fitment

The 9.5 wide wheels should fit the bakes if they are 18". You will be using a spacer, probably 2" or so and that will provide plenty of clearance to the spokes.
