I think those wheels match the C5 better than the C6... Not bad at all.

Nice^^! What size tires are you guys running on these? And are you guys running a spacer or do they bolt right up and fit?

I did C6Z Spyders. No spacers necessary. Can't speak for the splits.

Yeah Guys im asking about the OEM Split Spoke C6 wheels here specifically. Not replicas or any other wheel. Just got a set and trying to see what I need to make them fit. So I don't wanna confuse them with any other wheel you guys may be running. For some reason I read in a few other threads they needed a spacer. Maybe not though. These are not the same size and offset as the C6z wheels or the Grand sports.

Mine are GM wheels Off of a C6....the Rears do have a Slightly different Offset...They sit in a tad bit more than the stock wheels...I am not having a rub issue...if I wanted to bring them back out a Bit I could then do a Spacer...but as of right now they bolted right on

When I bought mine I was told it would be tight inboard but should work, sans spacers. I was told due to tolerances etc that a few have had to add a small spacer but that most find it unnecessary. That proved true for me. No rubbing whatsoever. But close onboard. Close but no rubbing. And mine are 12" wheels 19x325

The OEM Split spoke wheels are 19x10 rear, 18x8.5 front Im pretty sure. They are definitely smaller then my 18x10.5" Rear C5z wheels. You guys sure your not measuring the tire size and calling it 19x11 or 19x12 Rear?
