Default ZO6 wheel question

Hi,

I was wondering will ZO6 wheels fit right on to a C5 or do you have to make an adjustment ?

because stock is 17 x 8.5 front, 18 x 9.5 rear

and the ZO6's are 17 x 9.5 front, 18 x 10.5 rear

and in the newest Mid America catalog I have received, they say to match up the same wheel size that you took off of the car (being 17 x 8.5 front, 18 x 9.5 rear)....but yet I see many, many forum members runnning Z06 wheels on normal non-Z06 C5's ?? :confused:

Stock Z06 wheel sizing fits perfectly underneath a "regular" C5 :) But if you are not looking to get rid of your current tires there are Z06 reproduction rims available in regular C5 sizing. If you are looking to upgrade to Z06 wheel sizing then yes tires will be needed. We offer great wheel/tire package deals. Let us know if we can be of any help:)

Merry Christmas
