Hey guys,

I need a set of new wheels for my z06 if I go for a bigger brake kit.

While I was coincidentally looking for wheels for my BMW I found a local set of these:

BMW Bolt pattern:

Wheels are 8x19, ET 37
and 9x19 ET39

Currently has 245/30/19 Falkens on front
275/35/19 Nankang NS2 on rear.

Is the BMW bolt pattern close enough that it would be okay? Would these 19's fit okay?

Those are a full 1.5" narrower than our stock wheels, front and rear. Even if they do fit, I don't think it's a good idea to reduce your tire contact patch that much. Remember, brakes stop your wheels, but it's the tires that stop your car. I don't see any sense in going with bigger brakes and smaller tires.

Okay thanks I didn't realize they were that much narrower

What about running C6 z06 rims in our c5 z06's? with stock F1 tires?

Kind of see mixed opinions on that doing a search.

Duran , c6 z06 wheels are too wide in the rear and will hit the fender.
What brakes are you planning on buying? C6 z06 brakes , or aftermarket?
