I could have swore the C6 Z06 rim is 19X12, Well at least those are the 360 wheels I have on my Z06, Thanks for saving me about an hour of work I was going to see if my Z06 rims would clear my pacecar wheel wells. Have a great opportunity to buy a set of New GS rims and tires for less than a grand.

The weight savings alone Vs. aftermarket mean a ton. You can really feel a difference in acceleration with the extra weight of what I run.

They are. Aftermarket wheels that say they are C6Z might not be the same width or offset. You can't beat the price of oem sold here used. I got all 4 with 2k miles on them for $1000. At $250 a pop they are a good deal.

I went from light weight factory magnesiums to C6 repos and my ET did not change one bit! I have C6 repos in C5 offsets 11 in and only had to add a 1/4 inch spacer to the rear because of light scuffing on the inner fender shield,

today I took the rims and tires up to a shop in Pasadena, MD. They were mounted, balanced and they fit the stock 2002 C5 without rubbing. Sold the rims tires and the stainless steel exhaust.

Those are same size tires I am running(PS2's).Maybe I drive a bit more spirited as the rears lightly rubbed on the inside edge.
