FRC RIMS Question
Hey all I really hate that my FRC has 17/18’s is it possible to put C7 GS wheels an tires on it without hurting the car, tires or suspension? What do I need to do to make this happen. Apologize if this has been asked a lot but going through a C5 rebuild when I haven’t had one is years isn’t easy lol. Please an thank you for any suggestions or recommendations!

Those wheels will bolt on the car but fitting correctly is another story. A C7 GS is a widebody, a C5 is not, so the widths and offsets will result in wheel/tire poke. Some don't mind it, some do.
Do a search and you will find enough reading to keep you busy, for awhile.

@APEXRaceParts has a new line of Corvette wheels that fit perfectly for the C5 narrowbody. I have 2 sets of the 18x11 EC-7 wheels and they fit like a glove.
