Default c6 zo6 wheels

I have a line on some c6 zo6 rims that were taken off a brand new car at the dealer they want $1800.00 for them with the centre caps.
Is that a good deal ?
What do I need to install them on my c5 and what are the stock tire sizes.

If they are ACTUAL C6Z wheels, they will extend too far out from the body of a C5 and you will risk damaging your quarter panels. There are replica C6Z wheels from a number of vendors that will properly fit a C5 and look very much like OEM

Bolt pattern is the same, but the offset is different. Do a search, the data has been posted here before. I purchased the after market rims(9.5x18 & 12x1 for about 2/3s of the price you were quoted. They are a heavier rim tho.

The wheels can be had at West Coast Corvettes (a CF vendor) at a reasonable price (IMHO) minus tires and at your current 17" 18" stock size combo. I am planning this same set up this summer

Those are nice but the wrong off set as others have mentioned and I have aftermarket C6Z rims that I like as do many others

So I will be going aftermarket as well, thanks for the info. I really need to replace those wagon wheels before the snow melts, but I still want the 18 & 19 inch combo.

Not to hijack the thread, but would the C6 wheels (not C6Z) fit C5 without any problem and modifications...Just not clear on that. I think the Z wheels are different in size than the C6 OEM wheels...

C5 are 17" front 18" rear, C6 are 18" front 19" rear they will fit a C5 but you will need different size tires. There are C6 and C6Z replicas made in C5 stock sizes unless you want the larger wheels

Here is a pic of c6z06 reproduction wheels on my car. These are stock
c5 sizes and I got them from Bob's House of wheels a vendor here on the forum. These can be had for half of what you are talking about I have had these for 2+ years now and they look just as good now as when I got them


Send Bob a pm or give him a call for a quote you won't be sorry

So how much will OEM C6 ZO6 wheels stick out on a C5?I have 3/4" flared fenders to install on my car.Will 3/4" flare be enuff and if so will stock ZO6 wheels be a direct bolt on?
