C6 Z06 Wheels Question
I know there are a ton of threads out there about Z06 wheels on a C5, but mine is a little different. I added C6 Z06 Brakes on my C5 and my C6 replicas would not fit. I went bonkers and immediately bought "real" C6 Z06 wheels and they sort of fit. Both the front and rear pop out more than I would like. The front tires slightly rub on the front bumper cover when turning the wheels left or right. I have a couple of questions. Are there any other wheels that would fit flush on the C5 with C6 z06 brakes. Is there a slightly "wider" front fenders I could buy, I know I could get the ZR rear fenders. What is my best bet to keep the front tires front rubbing on the front fender? Maybe a "thinner" size tires for the front? Any ideas would help. Thanks!

Couple questions for ya......
You say the factory C6Z wheels "sort of" fit....are you reffering to them.sticking out a little or the way the wheels fit the brakes ??
Also, L5 motorsports offers wider front fenders as well as quarters to fit you C6Z's better. They will also make any width you want.

Last quick question. I bought the wider fenders for the rear, but the front tires are still too wide. What is a good width for c6z front wheels? I have 275/35/18 tires now, but need something thinner. Would you suggest a 265/35/19 or 255/35/19? Thanks for the help!!
