Wheel help
2000
Corvette
Hardtop
Z06 calipers awaiting wheels to install
I have been looking for a new wheel setup and I would really like to keep parts as OEM as possible. I'm interested in upgrading to C6 Z06 wheels and I know it would need a small spacer and also be sticking out of the fenders about a inch. Since I'm not interested in doing a fender flare, what I would like to know is can I run Z06/GS front wheels in all four corners and would it still need any spacers or extend past the fenders?
Anyone?
I would love picture!!!!!

If your car is lowered, you will need a very small spacer in rear to keep from rubbing the inner fender liner. Non lowered cars may not need a spacer. I can't speak on that. You can run c6 z06 wheels and go with 305's in the rear and 245's in the front and that will tuck the tires in some. If you want to run 325's in the rear then you can install c6 z06 splash guards to help protect the paint. That's what I plan on doing. Sorry, I see you wanting to run fronts in all four corners. I would think you would need a small spacer in the rear to run fronts to bring them out a little but I could be wrong. I have never tried it.

i was just messing around saturday and swapped front for rears. you won't need any spacers if you do the 18x9.5 all the way around. better would be to buy c5z06 rears and put all the way around. 18x10.5.
