Default C6 with Wagon Wheels

Will the C5's Wagon Wheels fit on the Z-51 optioned C6?

Just asking because I'm looking at getting a set for track-days as the tire sizes allow for getting cheaper track-day throwaway tires.

The rear ones (18 x 9.5") should fit, not sure about the fronts (17 x 8.5") though. The offsets are off by a little bit but should work.

Default Wagon Wheels II

Does anyone here actually run Wagon Wheels for track days?

I seem to remember an avatar that had what looked like Wagon Wheels on a road track.

I may end up just borrowing a friend's set to see if they'll clear the Z-51 brakes.

I just sold 2 front wagon wheels to a C6 owner Mr. Big for his track day.
I also got 2 rear wagon wheels for sale for $75 if you interesting.

The rears will fit the fronts won't fit, if you put the base rotors on the front then they will fit.

Look into the required programming of air pressure sensors or your C6 computer may limit your speed when you switch wheels.
