Z51 with ZO6 wheels
I am sure that this has been covered to death but im at work and don't have time to search.
Tomorrow I am buying some new wheels for my 2006 C6 Z51. I am wanting to go with the ZO6 chrome wheels. The ones I'm looking at are the reproduction wheels that are 19 x 12 in the rear. The saleman at the store told me my current wheels are 19 x 10 in the rear. I was under the impression that the z51 had the 19 x 11 in the rear and my tires would fit the ZO6 wheels but he seems to think it wont.
I'm kinda confused on what I really have back there. Any input on this?
Also....if I do go with the 19 x 12 in the rear and it sticks out an inch, will that look ok with my standard (non zo6) fenders? Don't want to look like a off road vehicle.

I read that 19X12 will hit the fender. Others may comment on that.

I just put Factory Reproduction Z06 style chrome wheels on my C6 Z51. They look great. Check the on-line wheel websites and you'll get the proper sizes.

Mine are 19 x 10 and 18x8.5 with the correct factory offsets. I use my factory tires and wheel sensors. I got them from Bob at House of Wheels in Florida. I would recomend going this route

Just did the same here on Monday. Look great and did not have to worry about fit or anything else that may cause a problem.

Will a 20x12 wheel with 295/25/20 fit under a stock rear c6 fender?
