Offset for the Z06 rims?
New guy here, got a question for ya.
Does anyone know the exact neg. or pos. offset of the stock Z06 rims?
And what is the widest rim anyone has fit in the rear?
Would appreciate any help, thanks guys. :jester

Re: Offset for the Z06 rims? (CRAZYWUGLY)
54mm Front, 58mm Rear (I believe) are the Factory offsets of the Z-06 wheels.
As for widest rear... I believe many have ran up to 12.5" rears...but I believe minor tubbing is necessary. 11's fit no problem!

Re: Offset for the Z06 rims? (Dave Schotz)
Does anyone know what the distance is from the hub mounting face to the back of the Fitament, in other words how far 'til you'd clear the brake caliper?
Do the stock rims barely clear or is there a little room to play with? The reason I'd like to know is because I may send my HRE's back to them and have them make them into 18's with the right offsets. Rim half replacement is easy, the distance I'm inquiring about is set. Since the wheels are already couterbored for the bolts. This would get extra costly if I have to have the holes opened up and plugged to adjust this. I think the fronts will work after laying out the offsets in ACAD, but it's still 3/4 inch diff. and the backs seem out about 1 1/2".:( Help!?
Thanks Every/Anyone

Re: Offset for the Z06 rims? (RFC)
54mm=2.126" or approx. 2 1/8"
58mm=2.283" or approx. 2 9/32"
I assume since he did not put a negative symbol in front of the number that it is positive offset. (towards the outside of the wheel)
