Default 16" rims in rear?

can you fit a 16" rim on the rear of a c5z? looking to run ET street 26X11.50-16 thats on a camaro rims

do able?

Edit: in case some one else ever needs to know

I was able to get the wheels on the car, I had to hammer the top of the ball joint down a little and do a "little" grinding on the rear hubs but as you can see there on




this pic is the two spots that needed to be grinned down not much though, really just the tops and a little of the curve area, I marked the area with a marker then would spin the wheel to see where it was touching then would grind a little and repeat till it was not touching any more taking my time about an hour start to finish

Yes, with the CCW drag pack they are a 16" rear wheel. You may have to dimple the top of the upper ball joint cap. I think CCW has instructions on doing this though.

I think you may need a thick spacer to get the offset you need with a camaro wheel.

The butt-ugly C4 turbine wheels are the best option. They're dirt cheap, 16x9.5 and fit the best.


the downside? They're butt ugly.
