Default C6 track guys.. please step in

Looking to purchase some C5Z OEM wheels to mount on my C6 purely for track use. Was wondering if anyone has done the same and how the fitment is? I need to take in account my Wilwood kit but would like to see pics of them mounted on a car regardless of brakes anyway.

I'm very interested in running the 18" rears all around for rotation but not sure this will be possible or not. Can anyone tell me if this is doable? If not then I need to find a complete stock set.


GA C5Z guys,
If anyone is close to the Sugar Hill (Buford) area and wouldnt mind helping me out on a test fit with the stock wheels over my Wilwoods that would be greatly appreciated.

I use C5Z rears on the front of my C6Z with a 3/4" adapter to get the offset right. It also requires that the stock studs be shortened or the wheels have clearance cut into the back side for the studs.
3/4 spacers are hard to find. I had them custom made.
These wheels clear my Z brakes. Not sure if that helps for your Wilwood question.
No reason that these wheels would not work on the rear of your car that I can see

Thanks for the reply. I found out last night that my C6 base fenders are the issue more than brake clearance or need of spacers. Now looking for other alternatives for a set of inexpensive light track wheels.

You need to do what I did. Buy a C5Z. The wheels come with it.
