the more I look at these wheels and the more vettes I see with these wheels the more I like them
No wonder they are called "Classic"

Rears are 11.5 and I beleave your correct on the offset, it's the big street set up. I use a 3/8 spacer so the are a little further outside the opening, only reason I use the spacer is cause I have the car slammed and they help keep the inside barrel away from the leaf spring . Once I go coilovers I most likely won't use them anymore.

It actually rubbed the inner barrel before I added the spacers, but that was before I had the 4 wheel alginment done too, I went a touch more aggresive than stock ZO6 speces for my ocational cone racing, but it still was too close for my comfort.

Either way, your car looks outstanding! I have the exact same car and those are the exact wheels, except with clear anodized outers, I want to run on it. Gorgeous!

Really? I'd be very interested in knowing the exact offset of your rears. I've done several 11.5"s with +51mm offset that had no inside rubbing issues. In fact, people even reported being able to retain their brake ducts on Zs.

Car's completely stock right now, Rob... That's why I'm inquiring about offsets. The LM20's are awesome! I like them better than the Classics, actually, but just not enough to spend the extra $.

Are you talking where the inner and outer barrels are bolted together? or at the valve stem seal? I tore mine apart 2 years ago to repaint the centers and had to reseal the seam where the inner and outer barrels come together. CCW has a video on how to do it, let me know I can give you some advice as well, not hard at all.
