C6 Z06 replica wheels fit C5? Sizes are......
18 X 9.5 & 19 X 10
Saw a set of wheels for sale. They said they were C6 Z06 replicas for a REGULAR BASE C6. Now I know that the OEM C6 Z06 wheels are 18 X 9.5 & 19 X 12 and would stick out in the rear especially on a C5. I don't want that. But what would THESE look like?
I do know that OEM BASE C6 wheels are 18 X 8.5 & 19 X 10. I also know a guy who ran these exact wheels ( OEM base C6 wheels) on his C5, and he said the front was fine and he only had to use 1/8" spacers in the back.
Question is:
I assume that the REAR wheels I saw for sale (C6 Z06 replicas) could work on my C5, provided I use the same 1/8" spacer in the back? (Since both sets of wheels (the set for sale, my guy's OEM base C6s) were made for BASE C6 AND were 19 X 10.)
But what about the difference in width up front? My guy ran the OEM BASE C6 wheels ( 18 X 8.5) on his C5 with no spacers. THESE wheels in question are 1" WIDER. ( 18 X 9.5 )
If I run the CORRECT width of tire for THIS wheel ( 18 X 9.5, built for front BASE C6), will I also need a small spacer? (to work on my C5)
Thanks guys.....
