C6 ZR-1 wheels
Has anyone put C6 ZR-1 wheels on a C5 and if so were there any issues?

Those wheels are designed to fit a widebody car. They will bolt on a C5 but will poke, noticeably.

Yeah these are definitely NOT oem and now I know that they’re C7 repros... Just got this car and I’m also trying to decide on wheels.

Nothing wrong with the C7 Z reps. I like em 🤷🏻♂️ Not a chrome fan but I like the design. I like the C6 ZR1 design as well.

My guess would be a 265-275/35R18 in front and a 305/30R19

Im confused, I was thinking they were 18/19. They are 19/20, I am sure the 285 would fit up front, that 335 in the rear may be pushing it.
Im not running OE ZR1 wheels but I am running an 18/19 set up with correct offsets for the C5 and Im running 275/3518 front and 305/3019 in rear.
