Default C6 Z06 Factory Wheels

I know that the front C6 Z06 factory wheels 18 x 9.5 bolt on to a C5. But the rears are 19 x 12. Will these bolt on a 2000 Corvette convertible without a spacer. Thanks.

I was looking at the same wheels for 03 Z06. What I read on the forum is they'll stick out a bit from the wheel well. As much as I want to upgrade to those wheels i'm not a fan of the wheel sticking outside of the body of the car. Good luck with your decision.

i don't mean to hijack your thread. i'm not really sure what all these numbers mean but I would love to put these tires on my C5Z without them sticking out...

295/35/18 in front and 325/30/19 rear.

Default Everyone should know...

I just wanted everyone to know what a great and stand-up guy Turbo Bob is. We text back and forth about the wheels he had for sale. We met the next day and upon inspection they were flawless just as he had said.

We talked corvettes for at least an hour as well as some personal stuff, being that he and I are essentially the same age and have experienced some of the same life issues.

I bought them, he even gave me a Sr's discount!!! Took them home and installed them the next day. I think they look great in my C5 'Vert and Bob said they would slap right on as they did.

Thanks Bob for your help and friendship!

TiRider- those look awesome. Congrats on the purchase, install, and more importantly the new friendship. They don't stick out as far as I thought they would. Now you have me second guessing buying a pair myself.
