Default Any 16 inch rims available for C6?

I have an 07 Z51 and want to use 28X11.5X16 ET Streets, are there any rims that will fit? Also, what are you guys using for skinnies?

haven't found a 16" wheel that will fit the rear...i use c5z06 17x9.5 wheels for my rear tires for drag racing...a guy is selling some in the C6 section right now...as far as skinnies go i use 17" gto spares but they wont work for you b/c you have a z51...only work on cars without z51

here is the link to the c5z06 wheels

Thanks man. I use 17s now from my WS6, but having problem getting traction in 2nd gear at the track even with ET Streets. I guess I'll have to go with the ECS spindle that allows 15 inch rims...

Bias ply. Not sure the power, but the track isn't the best. I'm running 16 psi on Paxton 1500 with water/meth injection with 14 degrees of timing...not sure what kind of power that comes out to but 60 lbs injectors are around 94% capacity to keep an AFR in the 11s
