Default Z07 18" wheels
I have a 2012 Z06/Z07 that I track. I heard that some people use 18" wheels that fit over the carbon-ceramic brakes so they can use slicks for track/racing. Does anybody have details on what size would fit?

CCW makes 18" wheels that will clear your rotors. I have some mounted with M/T drag radials.

Yes, you need to get the custom forged 18" wheels from CCW, Finspeed, Forgeline, or Forgestar to fit over the brakes. None of the stock takeoffs will work.

Default Finspeed C7Z Wheels
Most, including myself, run an 18x11 front and 18x13 rear. All of our models are available in these sizes for the C7Z.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Mine is a C6 Z06 with the Z07 package, tires and brakes identical to the ZR1. Can you send me some pricing info regarding your wheels, and what size tires would fit them.

Thank you!

Forgestar CF5 in 18x10 or 11 for front and 18x12 for rears will fit. See many using Toyo R888 for tires.
