Got some new shoes.
I bought some used XO Verona wheels off ebay. I got them refinished locally and new tires. 19x9.5 front and 20x11 rear.
I also just finished a double din install, mgw shifter ans am still tweaking a radio flyer slc v3 installation.
Pics of those mods to follow.

They are 19 x 9.5 with 265/30/19 56 offset and 20 x 11 with 305/25/20 73 offset. The rear needed a spacer bit the wheels came with it. They are heavier than the fake chrome z06 rims I removed. So if weight savings are your goal these are not the right choice.

looks great like the wheels. I went with a thicker tire though to help fill the wheel gap.
The radioflyers do take a lot of trial and error to line up right so give yourself time, will look great the car will look like a modern sportscar again

My solution for thw wheel gap is a set of Viking coilovers that i have sitting on the shelf here. I also have everything i need to rebuild the suspension, including poly bushings. A wilwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rear kit is on its way now from TCE.
I already have c6 z06 sways on it. I can't wait to finish all that so i can move on to the engine and clutch.
I became friends here in Korea with a guy that tracks his C5 Z06. He knows some garages who can give me a hand with alignments.
