C6 Wheels on a C5
Anyone have a pic of a black C5 with black C6 ZO6 wheels?
Also, were the C6 ZO6 wheel sizes not staggered from the factory?
Sorry for such a specific request, thanks in advance!

Gotcha----I asked for the size because I'm looking at purchasing a set of C6 ZO6 wheels, but they're listed as being 18" for all four. I wonder what the deal is with that?

Most sets of "C6 Z06" wheels that you'll see are reproductions. They're cast wheels which are not of the same quality as OEM wheels, and some of them are made in C5 sizes to put on our cars. They're good looking wheels, just don't think that they're the same quality as real C6Z06 wheels.
C6's have different offsets from C5s, but you can make the wheels fit with spacers.
As 8VETTE7 posted, OEM C6Z06 wheels are 12" wide in the rear, which is too wide to fit on a stock C5. You would have to have flared rear fenders to make it work (not cheap!).

But I'd be more comfortable running a reproduction wheel rather than using spacers..JMHO

a 4mm spacer is all i used to fit on my coupe. OEM c6 z06 wheels. they stick out maybe an 1" past the fender. don't look bad at all. don't have to use flared fenders. and if you did, then you would need a 1" adapter.
