Slow Poke

Just bought a single rim like above today from OE Wheel (18x10.5) to see if it will fit on the standard brake non Z07 rear. If it does or does not, I will post results sometime next week. The C5 18x10.5 work fine but look ugly with the nickel pearl front wheels.

I was wondering about this wheel too. Looks to have the same specs as the one posted but is a stingray wheel. A set of these on the back of mine with drag radials would make it a little bit of a sleeper still.

Exactly! Can you please let me know if they clear the stock Z06 brakes and how they look.

Thanks man!

Unfortunately, the OE Wheel 18x10.5 C7Z06 reproduction wheel came in today and a test fit shows the rear caliper on the non-Z07 "standard" brakes DO NOT clear the caliper. They touch on the very edge of the highest point of the caliper. Too bad because the "gun metal" gray looked good with the "Shark Gray" car. The only factory fit 18 wheels I have found are the C5 Z06 18x10.5's and they barely clear by less than 3/8"in. Save your money guys! It was too good to be true for $175 wheel.

I really appreciate the update. I literally just ordered a rear set last night. I just called them to cancel the order. Bummer!

Can you please let me know which (exact) rim does fit so I don't order something else that won't work.

Thanks again!

Just curious how the C5Z rim fits when the "fitment specs" are exactly the same as the C7Z reproduction wheel? Any idea?

Slow Poke

With reproduction wheels, even though they are basically the same diameter and width, the internal (back side) of wheel may be slightly different than the factory as in the case of OE wheels. The OE wheel has more taper as it approaches the rear face of the wheel. You physically can not see it until you test fit the wheel. If it had a 1/4 in of less taper like the factory C5 Z06 rear rim, it would work perfect.

Try Houseofwheels on ebay for OEM C5 Z06 wheels. They have gone up in price since they now fit the C7 Z06. At least with the C5 wheel they are factory spec and made in Italy by Speedline. The "new" GM C7Z06 wheels are made in CHINA. Even though they are alloys, I wouldn't be surprised if they rust out or fall apart like most other Chinese products. Sorry for the bad news. I wish they would have fit too!

Ok, thanks!

I thought that stock rims had a 58 offset, not 56 like these.

FYREANT

Stock is 56 front /79 rear.

Well I have the 18x10.5 oe wheels sitting in my room, just been sick last week and a half. But maybe it'll fit on my z51, if not i'll just trade them to someone with regular c5z rears or something.

The rear offset had better not be 79! I just ordered the 18x10.5 C5Z rims that everyone said would bolt right up. They have an offset of 56.

Please advise ASAP. Thanks!

1QUICK Z

This is incorrect. The stock C7Z rear offset is 59mm. Front is 43mm

FYREANT

this is NOT incorrect, this is the dimensions for the base model and the Z51 which is what this thread was started for. If you have a Z06, then your offsets are different. Most people are running the C5Z wheels on their NON Z06 to fit an 18" wheel..

1QUICK Z

Sorry about that. I "assumed" we were still talking about the Z06. My apologies.

FYREANT

no problems man. Just wanted to clarify!

i just picked up a set of c6 z06 wheels.. 18x10.5 with 59mm offset.. they clear everything. Im thinking of going with the mickey 305/35/18 or aka 27x12.5

Nevermind it managed to break the rear with stock tires on the street so it'll be a bit before I can test any rims.

You broke your rear end?

Johnn999

Something in it broke yep. Stock tires 30psi on the street didn't notice any wheel hop either. Cars at 4100 miles now too.
