Default Wheel help

Wheels that fit the BBKs that are not 3 piece and months on months to wait?

Do Cray Spiders fit over big brakes?

Do Cray Astoria?

18x9.5 with a 57mm offset for front work??

Check out the APEX EC-7 wheels. They come in 18x10 and designed to clear big brake kits.

It would depend on the spoke shape and barrel design, not just the width and offset to know if the wheels would clear. Even then, without overlaying both 2D drawings you couldn't be certain unless you did a test fit. Simply saying yes or no given a width and offset and no specific wheel name is a pure guess.

With that said, our EC-7 Corvette wheels do clear the C6Z brakes front and rear on a C5 in both 18x10" ET58 and 18x11" ET57.

Here's a link to all our C5 wheels. 18x10 in black is in stock currently: https://www.apexraceparts.com/shop-b...-corvette.html
