Looking for an inexpensive wheel option. I need the correct offset so as not to need spacers. Those with, please share info. Wanting to put a 345-35-18 MT in the back.
I run a CCW with Mine.. not a lot of option out there without spacers..
Who is putting the panels on?
Yea I've seen yours ....
i was initially going to have Richey do it. Since then I blew a turbo so paint got put off. Now Tom and I are going to attempt shooting the base clear and see what we get. If all else fails, Richey will still end up with it. If we succeed in this, I will see how an entire repaint will play into scheduling

you can always have your back wheels widened too.
these are MRR GT5
19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5 or 19 x 8.5 or 9.5 and 20 x 10
19/19 combo is 1099.99 shipped
19/20 combo is 1149.99 shipped
i dont know how much he paid to have them widened i wanna say like 150 per wheel
Those are nice. Really trying to exhaust my 18" option first. Might however let you know in the future about them.

House of wheels 18x12 c6 z06 wheels will work. I run these with my L-5 flares. No spacer either. I had to run a spacer in front because of the Big Brakes... I hope that helps
Im running the 345-35-18 MT in the back. I can post pictures tomorrow night my car is currently at the body shop getting painted. So i could snap a few when Im there.
Cool deal. Are you using the stock C6Z or C5Z offsets?
I can tell you that the ZO6 offset that CCW uses for there 505 does not work on a C5.. When we did a buddies Zo6 c6 clutch, I took his 19 x 12.5 CCW 505 and put it on my car and they sat in about 3/4 of an inch and were flush against the wheel well. So i can assume with 90% confidence that it will not work. It will sit to far in because the ZO6 panels are about 1.25 inches wide then the standard C6 panels.
As far as the measurement, I see what i can do tomorrow.
So the rear are C6Z ofsets and the front are C5Z offsets correct? Can you post a pic of it. Thanks
Front wheel offsets are pretty close between both generations, no matter there.
But an offset value means nothing without knowing the width of the wheel.
If you want a 12" wheel ideally offset for a 2" flared C5 quarter panel, think 45-50mm.
The OE 19x12" C6Z rear wheel is 59mm offset, and needs a spacer to fill out a widened C5.
