But now you can also By Repo wheels in C6 design in the c5 offsets if you'd rather go that route it's the cheapest overall

Sharp C5 Z06! Perfect Height in front and back, looking to lower mine around same height. If you don't mind like to ask you a few questions. What coil overs are you running? How do you like your Invos? What Air pressure do you run / Street / Track. Thank you for your time.

I'm Running the DRM coilover setup. I had no issues with the invos they was a darn good street tires and even with the huge 345 rears i ran through some pretty wet roads and they held pretty darn good can't get crazy but you can still drive. As for tracking them i never did i run KhumoV710's for track and autoxing. i did autox them once and i ran a bit better time then a buddy of mine with a zo6 that was running the NTO5's but my car is setup for the kuhmos and gets horrible understeer on street tires. As for the air pressure i ran about 4 psi under the tire recommendations on the rear to help them wear more even.

I ended up selling the package after running them for a year cause there weight was just horrible at 56lbs on the rears and a bit over 50lbs on the front. And the car became a bit more Track/autox oriented and i just never got the time to drive it on the street anymore.

Got mine on today! No spacers needed. When I was under the car I noticed that there was no way these were going to fit without spacers. However when the car is in the air the wheel is closer to the vehicle. Once I lowered it I found about 1/4" of space between the fender well and the tire. Once the "A" arms compressed the tires pushed out. I love the look. Could not be happier Thanks to all for the input

Your the man! Just had them installed yesterday and they were clearly rubbing. But the car was on the lift. Im glad i found your post. I was about to mini tub my damn car. PIA! Ima go back to see how they fit once lowered to the ground.

Do you have any issues with rubbing on the road when bouncing?
Thanks again.

I actually like the C5 Z06 wheels better than the C6 Z06 wheels, but they are smaller, aren't they?

Those stick out too far for my taste. It's hard to tell by internet pictures.

Any problems cracking fenders? I have some wheels made for a c6 z and just been paranoid to hit a bump with the car.
