Yes. They will look a little "stretched", but if you look up the Goodyear spec sheet, it does show that the recommended wheel width goes that wide. Several forum members have put the stock tires on that size wheel.

I swear the shoes on the C6 get no love whatsoever... I just can imagine the $$$$$$ people would make if they made a decent wheel for the C6 ... all I want is something with a larger lip, 5 spoke and CHROME.

Stock tire on "Factory Reproduction" Z06 replica rims. Rim is 1" wider then stock, I have no problem with appearance.

Stock Goodyear runflats installed. Face of rim sticks out about 1/2", but tire does not stick out. Tread completely contained by upper wheel well.

Would that cause a problem if a low /flat occured? the wider wheel might throw off the balance of the geometry

Call me strange but I like the stock 5 spoke ... I just wish they made a chrome version that was slightly wider than stock with the correct offsets for a C6.

Not really....causes no problem, suspension is ample enough to accept a different offset or wider wheel (within reason of course !!!)

So who has these wheels in stock in the right size? I def dont want to go smaller than what I have now.
I think I am going to just go to the ghetto fab place here in DC. They have a bunch of off brand name rims that are in stock ...only problem is figuring out FWD/RWD and the right off sets. ....
No one has wheels for the vette in stock....
