Default Jax Fl | Need to test fit C7 Z51 wheel on C6

Looking for some partnership from my Jax C7 owners.

I need to test fit a C7 Z51 wheel to see if it will clear the J56 brakes (Z06) on my C6 (2005 Z51).

I purchased rims from a forum vendor who promised me they would clear - guess what they didn't and I'm ruining a spacer

Was hoping I could get lucky and have a local Jacksonville/St. Aug C7 Z51 owner allow me to do a quick test fit to see if it will fit my needs.

I currently have the OEM size of a C7 Z51 repo @ 18x8.5 +56
The C7 Z51 is 1 inch larger @ 19x8.5 +56 offset

Thanks for stopping and reading

Brian

If Elmer can't help I am wintering in Palm Coast and can likely help.

Thanks Elmer - and thanks again for the assistance.

For the rest - the C7 Z51's don't clear the J56 Brakes

Well the good news is the C7 Z51 will fit all the way on the hub before it hits the caliper so a spacer half the size would work I guess and you get that much more thread engagement.

I was hoping for a clean fit....the search continues...
