Default Ultra Deep Dish Rims

I know these say they are made for a mustang but I am having a hard time finding affordable rims with this big of a lip for a corvette. Will these fit on a C5 with stock susp? Also I cannot find many pictures with corvettes that have rims with 4-5inch lip. Can anyone lead me to some pictures of even your opinion on these rims would help a lot. Thanks. Would put these rims on a black c5

a lot of the 3 inch lip rims will run a 12 inch wide tire.

How wide of a tire you plan on running ?

Not "ultra" but the pics below is what I happily settled with.

Does anyone know if these "mustang" rims would work on the c5's? I cant find a reason why they wouldnt fit. My issue might just be if they would look good. Probably why I cant find many pics of a vette with this size of lip.

I don't think a corvette correct "offset" will allow a fat lip esp if you want to run a "fat" tire.

The closest thing your going to find to the C5 bolt patter is BMW specific rims.

C5 bolt pattern
120.65*5

BMW
120*5

Below are RUFF racing 279 that are made for a BMW but use to be sold on this forum through a vendor. The fronts fit fine, but the rear required a 10mm spacer and ARP long bolts to get 8 turns from the lugs for safety. Running this set up or any non specific corvette wheel also required hub rings to relieve any vibration at speed.

There are plenty of vendors that sell wheels and can custom to how wide you want that "deep' look. You just have to have the $$$

Do you know if you would have enough clearance for big brakes on that rear?

I bought some special edition Ruff s281 awhile back with 4.5 inch lip. Not the best angle but you get the idea
