Anyone do a minitub and use C7 Z06 rims yet?

I have finished my minitub and plan to use C7 Z06 rims.

Replicas since new GM units are crazy money.

But think I will go with either C6 or C7 Z06 rims.

I would like to keep my front 9.5" wide or less, and the rears need to be at least 12" wide. I want to run 335s out back.

Looking to see if anyone has done this or anything similar.

These guys seem to have a lot of sizes available.

I would ideally like to go with an 8.5 wide up front. These guys have some styles to do that.

Not sure what the question is. Is it just a matter of if anybody has the same wheels or is there something else? Obviously you will need a spacer of some kind to correct the offset of the wheels, other than that, if the minitub is deep enough you should have no problem fitting a 335

Yeah, re-reading my post it was sort of all over the place.

Basically wanted to see if anyone had C7 Z06 rims with 335s and a minitub.

Or maybe even just thinner knock off C7 Z06 rims to see what it looks like.

That style looks off in 17's though, go at least with 18. That's what they look like, dont know about fitting 335's though
