Wheel Fitment Questions
Found an amazing deal from an awesome member here on the forums and I just want to make sure these will fit. I have a 1999 Corvette C5 non Z06/FRC. I would like to upgrade to Z06 brakes or maybe a BBK at some point. I would be willing to run a small adapter if necessary but nothing crazy. Here are the sizes.
Thanks for the help!!!!
18x10.5, +62 offset
18x9.5, +55 offset

what wheels are they? the biggest deal on C6Z front calipers is whether or not they clear the insides of the spokes. for example, i'm running stock C5 rear thin spoke 18x9.5 up front (don't remember the offset) but would need a 1/4" spacer to clear C6Z front calipers.

They are not much different than the stock C5 Z06 size/offset. The C5 Z06 sizes are:
9.5" - 54mm
10.5" - 58mm
The fronts are the same width and only 1mm (~0.040") different so they will fit the same as a Z06.
The rears are the same width and 4mm (~0.157") different so they will fit 0.157" towards the inside of the stock Z06 location. I don't have the C5 Z06 wheels on my car right now, but I believe there was more clearance than that on the inside between the wheel/tire and the car.
