Default 18x12 C5 Z06 wheels

Does anyone still make the 18x12 Z06 wheels for a C5 Z?

Thanks

Thanks Eric, I am looking specifically for the c5 z05 style wheel 18x12. Someone use to make them years back, wasn’t sure if they were still doing so.

IIRC the Z06 style were custom made... ForgeStar has 18x12's in the right offsets for great pricing and they are light for a 18x12 option. That's where I would look if you don't want very expensive options.

Short answer...I don't think anyone still makes them.

However, there are companies that can widen wheels...buy stock rears and have them modified. I would doubt the wheel wells can afford to have another 1.5" of wheel/tire width toward the inside, therefore you would need to adjust offsets again.

Tom,

What offset? Any spacers, tubs, or wide body?

How much camber and do they rub or stick out?

Thanks

Rob

house of wheels makes them in the C7 Z06 style.
i would have bet money they still make them in C6 Z06 style too, as i see them post on this forum, but i dont see them listed here anymore. just the C7

Sorry it’s been a busy week! The 1.5 inches added to the stock Speedline all goes to the inside so these are 9.5 inch backspacing, or +75 offset. My car was tubbed just about 1 inch. The nice thing is they don’t stick out at all.
