Zo6 rim question
I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times but I have read pages worth and can't get a 100% straight forward answer.
I'm buying some Zo6 rims but can't decide on what width to get. I want 18s on all 4 corners. I have the 2 inch spacer up front and the 4th Gen reared. What width is good without rubbing and also what is the biggest tire I can fit? I appreciate the help guys

Re: Zo6 rim question
To my knowledge you can't buy Z06 wheels smaller than a 9.5" width. With that width you can fit a 315 on them.
As far as rubbing, when I had C6 wheels on my car with 275/35/18s all around, it had a slight rub on the fender liner at full lock. As did a friend's car with the same setup.

Re: Zo6 rim question
Are you planning to keep all 4 tires the same size or will you be running wider rubber in the back? If all 4 are the same size, then your fronts will be the determining factor. I have the stock C5 Z06 17/18 combo for my IROC project.
Front: 17 x 9.5 Tire size: P265/40ZR-17
Rear: 18 x 10.5 Tire size: P295/35ZR-18

Re: Zo6 rim question
Judging by this thread, you should be fine fitting the 18x9's all the way around.
