i busted out my rear inner fender lips with 315/30/18 hoosiers on the 18x10.5 c5 zo6 wheels, i wonder if i could have got away with 295/30/18's? F.Y.I. they fit the front of the base/z51 car fine, offset is close to each other and there really is not much of a front inner fender lip, its more of a BEAD, much stronger than in the rear of car.

The C5 Z06 rear wheel will stick out 21mm on the rear of the C7. But that's not including a wider tire on the wheel.
Wheels can be found that stick out and wheels can be found that don't stick out.
Well, anyone looking for 18" wheels, the Forgestar F14F has them. Get the sizes on the Forgestar website and price them on the Howey Industries website. Front wheel offset should be 56mm to 52mm and rear wheel offset should be 79mm to 73mm

the 17x9.5 front c5 z06 wheel is 54mm, the rear 18x10.5 is 58mm. i ran those last year( i wish i used a smaller than 315 on the rear, big trouble for me with 315/30/18 on rear. F.Y.I. not many know this but the c5 z06 front 17x9.5 fits great on the front of base c7(not z51 car), i now have z51 car, 17 will not work.

i had two types of aftermarket c5 z06 wheels, they looked the same! but when you turn them over one set had the spokes curved out and the other spokes were flat( looking from backside of wheel) the flat spokes only fit the rear of the c7 but the curved ones fit front and rear of c7.
