Adding rims
Hey guys,
I'm looking to add rims to my '06 C6. I have a few questions:
1) what sizes fit? (what's the offset?)
2) how do you feel about adding a z06 back flare so i can fit bigger ones (how big are these?)
3) what happens is offset is not correct?
4) will these fit http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-tir...|%20Black.html

Unless you know what the offset is on the wheel link that you have, you can't have a clue as to whether they will fit a C6....The C6 has the most unusual offset in the car world....wheels to fit a Corvette will typically fit ONLY a Corvette.
The stock wheels have an offset of 79 mm in the rear and 56 mm in the front.....for every 14 mm decrease in these numbers, the wheel will stick out .55 inches further that the stock wheels.......hope this helps!!
I am surprised that you would even have to ask about a ZO6 rear fender kit (do a search here, please?)....but for the purposes of your question......yes, you can do a ZO6 rear fender kit and fit LOTS wider wheels and tires.....

Adding Rims
I've got CCW SP16a wheels on my 08 C6; 19x10 with 275/30/19 Toyo Proxes T1Rs front and 20x11 with 305/30/20 Toyo rears. They fit great. Talk to John at CCW; he'll get you the correct fit.---John
