Switching Rims

This may seem simple but are thier any problems putting OEM Z-06 rims on my 2004 coupe? Do they fit and will their be any rubbing issues or brake issues?
I like the wider rims and tires that come with the Z-06.
Thanks

No issues. Go for it.

A lot of people have done this, and, as the above post states, there have been no issues or problems. Good luck w/ the swap...

No fit or rub problems. Great handling upgrade (especially if you add the Z06 swaybars as well). Only caution would be, if you have the F55 suspension the extra weight may cause the computer to throw codes periodically. It does not affect the performance of the system and is an annoyance only.

Are you referring to the new C6 ZO6 OEM (325/30/19) wheels and tires or the C5 version? If you are thinking about the C6 the OEM wheels will not fit properly as they will stick out beyond the rear fender by several inches due to the offset of the wheel, however if you purchase the ZO6 replica wheels in the same size, that are made for our C5 they will fit just fine and you can use the 325 width tire
