Default Tire question...new one.

I may have an opportunity to purchase some very low mileage 2006 C6 chrome 5 spoke stock rims/tires . I would like to replace my stock rims and tires with these. My question will a stock '06 C6 wheel fit my stock '03 C5 and will the TPS's work on my Corvette? What would be a fair price? Rob

The C6 TPS will not work on the C5 - you will need to install some C5 sensors.

The fronts will fit the backs will require spacers because the offsets are different.

Have the same setup. New TPMS and 1" wheel adapters on the rear. Had to grind down the studs about a 3/16" so they wouldn't protrude into the C6 wheels. Very happy with the result.
