are those 345's? did you already buy them? 18x12 repros will work and look close to stock but,

i have 18x10.5 oem c5zo6 wheels wrapped with 315/18 mickey thompsons. they are 25.5 inches tall and each wheel/tire combo weighs 50lbs. i had the repro 18x12 with 345 mickeys which were 70lbs each and def slowed the car down and imo for only 530rwhp. my setup(315) maybe forsale as i have only used them to test fit and traction gain

pm if interested

I have a set of 18" HRE C21 wheels in black on my Z06 now. They are for sale as I am going with a 20/19 combo and de-tuning my car from 904rwhp to around 650. PM me if you are interested.

For most of us up to 600HP, a 17" wheel/tire works best. This is because a drag tire squats leaving the line reducing the diameter effectively lowering the gear ratio. Then at speed it expands increasing the diameter and ratio. To do this properly, it needs more sidewall than an 18 or 19" wheel/tire provides.

If we could fit them, a 15" diameter wheel would be ideal, but they will not fit around the brakes. The smallest wheel/tire diameter that will fit is a 17" wheel and most of us use a 275/40-17 M&H or Hoosier drag radial.
If you are bound to use 18" tires, then almost any 18" wheel with the proper width will work. You might consider a C5Z rear wheel, but it is not 12" wide. If you need 12" width, you are stuck with aftermarket wheels where the offset is usually wrong for a Corvette Z06.

Hope this helps!

I've got the same tire and use a set of Z06 replicas in 18x10.5" size. It's a good bit lighter than the stock rear wheel/tire and tucks inside the fender just enough to keep rubber off your paint.

I have a set of 18x10.5 but they (Hoosier) a 12inch wheel for the 335 Hoosier can you post a pic's of your wheel/tire. Thanks

Is the blue Z0 an E85 powered car just curious??

Question though, will the C5Z06 rear wheels fit the rear of the C6Z06's without any modding? I'm going to get tuned tomorrow and driving my car from Oklahoma City to Dallas. I can use a friends C5Z06 wheels that are already at the shop but need to know if they will fit. I'd rather not put the miles on my DR's if I don't have to. Thanks for any help.

Yes, it is on E85. I guess you've seen me post about it before?

Yes, the C5Z06 rears will work on the C6 Z rear.
