I love the chrome Z06 wheels. That said are front fenders of a Z06 flared? I cannot tell by studying photos. If not it seems a guy could bolt 4 Z06 front wheels on all four positions of a C7 and not have the fronts "stick out".
yes the fenders are flared 2 in. in front, 3 in rear. here are some others numbers to think about, base/z51 cars have a offset of 56mm front and 78mm offset in the rear. c7 zo6 offsets are 43mm front, 59mm rear.

Reason: No need to requote the OP, especially when you're the next poster.
And that's why I'm waiting for after market replica Z06 wheels in 18/19, or I might move up to 19/20 if I buy them when I need new tires. I spoke with a wheel vendor at B-J and they are going to make them at some point.
I am pretty sure the Z06 replica wheels are out already. They have them on Ebay already in 17" and 18" sizes. I wouldnt see why they wont have them in 19"/20"

i cant tell you what you seen on ebay, but if i had to guess, they were c5/c6 zo6 aftermarket wheels. many of us are waiting for the c7 zo6 aftermarket wheels to come out in base/z51 offsets, and if they want to sell a ton of these wheels they will go wider than the 8.5 fronts and the 10 inch rears. 9.5/10 fronts, 10.5/11 inch rears would be just what the doctor ordered.

I have not seen any C7 Z06 after market wheels anywhere. I bet what you are seeing is C5/6 Z06 wheels but I will search nonetheless. :-)

I checked out eBay and their website and I could not find 18/18 versions which fit my base C7. I guess I'll have to call them and keep searching. I want a set in 18/19 in the Nickel finish.

we are getting closer!! LETS NOT FORGET ONE THING, OFFSET'S. if these are c5 zo6 sized then they are very wrong for c7. c5zo6 rear offset is 58mm, c7 is 78mm rear. also mythird1, i just traded a base car for a z51 car so i know this for sure. 17's fit base cars front. not kidding, i just did a whole autocross season on c5zo6 wheels, 17x9.5 fronts with 295/35/17 on them and in the rear( this was the trouble!!) i ran the c5zo6 18x10.5 with 315/30/18 and because of the offset( 58 instead of 78) i tore off my rear inner fender lips, they are gone! i like these wheels posted but offset means alot

I am very familiar with offsets. I changed my C6 wheels with ZR1 replicas and offset was correct. I will never put any wheels on my car that aren't the exact fit. It's just not worth it. I've got lots of time since I don't plan on replacing the current wheels until I need new tires. That way I'll have the option to go 18/19 or 19/20.

I had the same question. I plan to do a wide booty conversion and leave the front alone. With the C7 Z fender splats (or whatever the correct name for those little flares is) I wonder if the C7 Z wheels would stick out? Those things have to protrude 1.5-2 inches past the C7 coupe wheel well?
I've been searching for a while for 2015 Z06 Replica wheels in 18/19 inch size to fit my base 2014 C7. Not sure if anyone has seen this but West Coast Corvettes (WCC) now has them on their website. It's puzzling that they have been available in 17/18 sizes but not 18/19. I plan to call them to verify they will fit my base C7 (56/79 offset) so I can order them and have Discount Tires install them. Has anyone bought the 18/19 sizes yet? If so, have you had any issues with fitting them on a base C7?
