Default Deep dish

What wheel has the deepest possible dish and still fits a C5 Z06? Depth of the dish matters more than the wheel's diameter. On the diameter side, 18, 19, or 20 will do for the rear. Don't really care, just want the deepest dish (read: baller status) possible.

I realize a deep dish like this is not doable on a Corvette:



.. dig the wheels, BTW, but the FS Rev wheels wouldn't have a deep dish on a 'vette I don't think.

The deepest dish you can go on a C5 is 3". Anything over that and your wheel will start to stick out of the wheel well.

This is a bad picture of my car, but hopefully you can get the point.

Yes, I did. I actually thought to myself: wonder how the Kenne Bell stacks up against the Procharger, Vortech, and Magnuson head units out for the C5?

KB blows them all away... pardon the pun. Bro post up your dynograph for all the see the pure beauty of a twin-screw.

I believe I-forged has a rear wheel w/ a 4" lip... but the spokes curve in some.

Where can I buy one? Last time I read a topic thread about KB on LS1/6, it was something that "wasn't out yet, but would be soon."
